Practical Life
Understanding My World By Caring For It 

Using common, everyday activities, children refine small motor skills by pouring beans, polishing wood, cutting carrots and serving snacks. Children really wash clothes using a small scrubbing board and child size clothes. 

Dish washing is scaled down to their size using real soap and water. Personal care is stressed by teaching how to snap, tie shoes and hang coats. 

Sensorial
Understanding My World Through The Use Of My Senses 

Children learn size & shape discrimination, sequencing, and categorizing. 

They match colors, sounds and learn to identify objects through their sense of touch. 

Science
Understanding My World Through Love of Nature 

Our science curriculum is immense and has been called "one of the best anywhere." Imagine using a huge sponge from Greece to soak up water, examining the shell from a horseshoe crab, or putting together the vertebra of a squirrel! Your child will handle a superior insect collection, snake eggs and skins, and a log downed by a beaver's teeth. Our curriculum is carefully planned to include subjects as: Birds, Reptiles, Rocks and Fossils, Ocean Life, Skeletons, Food, The Human Body, and The Solar System. 

Reading
Understanding My World Through Sounds, Words And Language 

Dundee Montessori uses a progressive phonetic method that is a proven way for children to be reading at a young age. When children succeed in reading, their self-esteem rises and their love of learning remains with them for life. Reading is the key for success in all areas of study. 

Writing
Understanding My World By Leaving Marks On My Paper 

Nothing is more exciting for a child than seeing their permanent mark left on a piece of paper. 

When their small motor skills are ready, so are we ready to teach our method of writing to these young, eager hands. 

Math
Understanding My World Through Numbers 

Using the Mortensen Math curriculum, we use concrete objects to count, add and subtract. These varied, small counting objects beacon to children, "touch me, count me!" Number games and personalized lessons keep their motivation to learn high. 

Geography
Understanding My World Through Love of Nature Awareness Of Other Places And Peoples 

Your child will interact with object boxes full of treasure from other countries. Picture folders, international dolls, and stamps all teach lifestyles of people around the globe.
