This Primary level program is specifically designed to meet the growing needs of children among the ages of 2½ to 6 years old. The three-year cycle begins when the child is between 2½ to 3½ years of age and ends when the child arrives at approximately 6 years old.
This primary class, known as the "Casa Dei Bambini"
or "Children's House" is a learning environment that has been specially prepared to offer everything the young child needs to grow in a wholesome way, not only intellectually, but also physically, emotionally, socially and psychologically.
It is based on the concept that young children during the formative years are their own master teachers, guided by a professionally trained Montessori Directress who follows the interests and potentials of each individual child at their specific rate of development. The child is given opportunities to cultivate new interests in an effort to realize his/her fullest potentials as a unique individual, as well as to nurture a love for learning and an appreciation of working in a respectful, peaceful and enriching environment with young children of varied ages.
Because this program is founded entirely on the natural development and interests of young children during these formative years, it is imperative that the child begins the program at the ideal age of entry (2½ - 3½ years old).
