Arbor Montessori Schools Primary Classrooms

For the young child a nurturing, child-centered environment and a loving, trained adult create the necessary components for successful development. Widely acknowledged as perhaps the most critical years in a child’s life, the years from 3-6 are when the child literally "absorbs" the world.

Teachers bring the world into the classroom through beautiful, orderly, reality-based materials that are accessible for the young child's exploration. The environment provides an integrated approach to cognitive and social development. The emphasis is on developing good work habits, concentration, organization, coordination and independence. The child pursues learning at his or her own pace, guided by the teacher. Children are led to activity choices that are an appropriate level of challenge to ensure success and continue the child’s natural love of the learning process.

There are three Primary Classrooms—the Maple, Magnolia and Juniper Room.
