Main Street Montessori- Perfection through iterative learning

Main Street Montessori

Casa Program

Children from 2.5 - 6 Years of Age

In the Casa classrooms, our focus is to transform children’s interests into a strong foundation for the future, developing essential skills in reading, writing and mathematics while nurturing positive values, independence, and the freedom to learn, explore, and think for themselves.

The children delve deeper into the study of Language, Math, Geography and Social Sciences; they also take on greater responsibility for their classroom environment, their relationships with peers, and their own learning. Through these experiences, they develop independence, confidence, self-discipline, and a strong sense of responsibility.

Montessori Education Philosophy

The basic error is to suppose that a person's will must necessarily be broken before it can obey.
