Learn and Play Montessori School is affiliated with the American Montessori Society (AMS) and is a member of the Bay Area Montessori Association (BAMA). Learn and Play Montessori School is open to children ages 2 through 6 offering full day and half day Pre-school and Kindergarten programs.
Our goal is to give each child the individualized attention needed to learn, discover and develop values such as respect for self/others, honesty, integrity, responsibility, empathy, compassion, and kindness. We achieve this goal by keeping small classroom sizes. Learn and Play Montessori School's teacher to student ratio is 1:12.
At Learn and Play Montessori School we value each child's independence and creativity. Thus, by following the philosophy, practices and curriculum of Dr. Maria Montessori and her method of education, children work on activities of their own choice at their own pace. They experience the opportunity to solve problems, learn, play and develop freedom and self-discipline in a place especially designed to meet their developmental needs.
Our curriculum is designed to incorporate activities in areas of practical life, sensorial, math, language, science, geography, music, and art. The materials in each of these curriculum areas emphasize the underlying objectives of concentration, order, coordination and independence. The curriculum addresses children's unique learning styles, cultivates independent thought, and promotes the building of character that all children are creative.
Our classrooms are prepared specifically for children between the ages of 2 to 6 years of age. Each child is closely monitored and allowed to progress exactly when they are academically and developmentally prepared to do so. This ensures success on the child's part which leads to positive self-esteem. Children who benefit from such great beginnings have futures that are limitless.
Our teachers are dedicated professionals with strong educational backgrounds who provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching educational environment and opportunities for each child to reach their highest potential. The teacher is a guide, directing the child's learning experiences through instruction in the use of the learning materials and through observation of the child's progress. Each child's learning program is 'tailor-made'. The teacher remains aware of each child's interest and developmental stage, providing lessons appropriate to both. |
