Come to Summer Camp| Preschool & Kindergarten - The "Primary" Years |
|
At Hudson Country Montessori, Preschool and Kindergarten aged children are grouped together for a three-year span and the children will have the same teacher for this period. This "Primary" stage of the children's development benefits when the emotional and physical growth is steady and the intellectual work strong. The 3 year old learns from and is inspired by children much older, and the teaching is done by older to younger as well as younger to older. This large age span helps to avoid the tendency of some teachers to over-schedule and over-direct students who need ever more freedom of time-planning and research. A child is always learning something that is indirectly preparing him to learn something else, making education a joyful discovery instead of drudgery. The Primary curriculum of a Montessori school has four basic components, which include Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, and Math. In addition to this, there are cultural extensions consisting of geography, history, botany, zoology, and the arts. Music and Movement are also included in the curriculum.
