3- to 6- Year-Old Classroom (4K/5K)
Our 3- to 6-Year-Old Classrooms are for children ages 3 to 6 years old. This blending of ages is based on Maria Montessori’s philosophy of a multi-age educational society. This 3-year age span guarantees that children at various stages of development can learn from and with each other.
Our 3- to 6-Year-Old Classrooms include a tuition-free 4K program in collaboration with the Wausau School District and a 5K kindergarten program.
Maria Montessori recognized the spontaneous interest that arises within each child at this age. It is through the child’s interest and active engagement that the love of learning arises. Montessori early childhood education should be to cultivate the child’s own natural desire to learn.
At the center of the Montessori Method is your child. Your child’s individual interests motivate his or her choice of materials. Our experienced Montessori-trained teachers will demonstrate the appropriate use and method for each material and/or lesson and individually assist each child in the classroom. Our teachers observe and record each child’s individual progress. They know when to introduce a new challenge and when to allow a child to work with genuine interest.
Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment. {Maria Montessori}
Children are greeted by their teacher as they begin their day of lessons in the areas of:
- Practical Life
- Sensorial Exercises
- Language Development
- Mathematics
- Cultural Life
- Science
The Montessori Method embraces the development of the whole child: intellectual, emotional, social, and physical. Freedom is a positive component for growth.
Chosing their own lessons and working at their own pace gives children the opportunity for their own self-directed success. Through this freedom, children can develop their independence, grow in competence, gain confidence, and achieve positive work habits that will lead to an everlasting appreciation for learning.
