General Cognitive Development

Unconsciously and effortlessly, the very young child takes in their world: number-ness, shapes, sizes and colors, smell, taste, textures, temperature, and weight. General cognitive development is founded upon our senses that perceive the world. We focus the child on sensory aspects of their environment to develop powers of observation and discernment. From these sensorial foundations, the teachers support each child in constructing their mental world.

Motor Development

Motor development involves the hand's fine motor skills and the whole body's large motor development. Montessori spoke of purposeful movement; others have named this psychomotor movement. Our teachers are trained to observe and to create activities that engage the young child in focused, purposeful activities to develop fine motor skills requiring eye-hand coordination and concentration. The practical life activities, in particular, focus on fine motor skills. Fine motor skills lay the foundation for manipulating the pencil for handwriting and observation skills for distinguishing letters of the alphabet. Large motor development focuses on other areas of the curriculum: sensorial, math manipulatives, and language materials.
