3-6 Yr. Old Primary
The Primary, or preschool, level is a program three to four years in length.
It is at this level that Montessori’s concept of mixed-age learning groups begins to clearly manifest itself. The Primay program goals are to foster independence and to support children in moving toward mastery of self
and the environment.The Primay classrooms are prepared Montessori environments designed to encourage children to develop a love of learning and trust in their own ability to learn.
The Primary classroom environment unifies the psychosocial, physical, and academic functioning of
the child. It is an important task to provide students with an early sense of order, pride in the physical environment, self-discipline, and a sense of responsibility toward the other members of the class, school, and community. The period from three to six years is the most important for laying the foundation for all future development.
