Children’s House
Ages 3 – 6
CMA’s Children’s House classroom provides opportunities for the child to explore, learn, and discover not only their environment, but interpersonal relationships as well.
Between the ages of 3 & 6, children are curious about everything. The classroom environment is warm and inviting, enabling the child to feel comfortable in discovery. The multi-age classroom facilitates cooperative learning, grace & courtesy, and independent thinking skills.
The Montessori Classroom
One of the unique advantages in the Montessori classroom is the encouragement given to children to expand their horizons and explore new dimensions beyond the immediate learning situation.
Purposeful Work
Dr. Montessori suggested that we should respect children’s actions as being their purposeful work. Every young child’s ultimate task is to build a person. Every action that a child performs, is part of a child’s deeper work of forming his or her own unique self. When adults respect children’s purposeful actions as being their important work, children absorb the message, “What I do matters.”
Hands-on Materials
Paper and pencil have merit, but when combined with concrete learning materials and an unlimited ceiling, the child reaps the greatest benefit – meeting his or her own need for understanding.
Hands-on Experiences
As the student progresses through each Montessori level, they increase their opportunities for real-life experiences. Field trips are an essential part of the Montessori experience, and all ages participate.
