Classrooms and Programs

Our Montessori classrooms are carefully prepared, child-oriented environments. Children learn at their own pace, choosing materials that appeal to their interests and developmental needs. The materials are attractive, self- teaching, self-correcting, and can be used independently by the children.

Many of our materials are sequenced, coordinated, and progressively challenging. Materials are specifically designed to give order to the learning experience and to invite children to explore and develop habits of initiative, independence, curiosity, and concentration. We strive to instill a foundation for a love of learning.

You can explore our classrooms and other programs below. You may also want to read more about our curriculum and what makes Montessori Country Day great.
