The young child internalizes concepts through movement, repetition, the use of their senses and the manipulation of concrete objects. We provide a rich environment of well-structured tasks in a broad and far reaching curriculum.
The children are permitted freedom of choice within a stimulating environment with clearly defined limits. They work individually and in small and large groups. They become absorbed by their chosen tasks and experience a deep, inner satisfaction. They develop a positive attitude and excellent foundation for creative learning.
PRACTICAL LIFE... exercises designed to coordinate the brain, muscles and senses... are real experiences the child learns to master in order to become an independent agent in his environment.
SENSORY EDUCATION... manipulative materials designed to educate and refine the senses... tactile, visual, auditory... even gustatory and olfactory.
LANGUAGE... begins with Sandpaper Letters and progresses through all the phonetic skills... includes vocabulary development and learning to read and write.
MATH... begins with Number Rods and Sandpaper Numerals to give a muscular-sensory understanding of numeration... addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with concrete materials.
