ST. JOSEPH’S MONTESSORI PRESCHOOL

St. Joseph’s Montessori Preschool Staff believes in the education of the whole child.  We feel that each area of his/her development is of equal importance.  We offer each child a stimulating environment where intellectual, social-emotional, spiritual and physical growth is nurtured through an integrated curriculum presented by caring adults.

 GOALS

The following are areas of development you can expect to see in your child:

A joy of learning

 

Concentration

Learning through discovery

 

Attachment to reality

Independence

 

Love of order

Self-confidence

 

Ability to choose

Self-discipline

 

Enjoyment of God and the gifts of the Holy Spirit

 CURRICULUM

The Montessori curriculum is much broader than many other early-childhood programs.  In our classrooms, we have activities ranging from fine motor development to zoology.  The environment is carefully designed to allow children easy access to a variety of learning experiences.  The Montessori Program is sequenced according to the principles of development.  Every activity is carefully thought out to build on previous preparation and to lead the intelligence to a higher activity.  The routine of the classroom is based upon the principle of freedom of choice and designed to develop independence and responsibility through self-correcting activities.
