GIFTED GARDENS MONTESSORI Hours: 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM Ages: 2 Years - 6 Years Welcome to Gifted Gardens Montessori! We offer a natural environment and creative curriculum for children to fully explore and thrive! Children enjoy art, toys, and stories that include different cultures. These include weekly themes, projects, geography maps and puzzles, and hands-on activities to help children become active learners. Our play-based program consists of a variety of natural toys, S.T.E.M. activities, and many child-sized musical instruments. Playing a musical instrument - like the piano - enhances a child's development in areas of focus, memorization, motor control, reading and more. In addition to play-based learning, Spanish is encouraged in everyday conversation and incorporated into our weekly-themed preschool curriculum through songs, games, stories, and art. Children engage in small groups, one-on-one activities, and individual time with teachers - improving their language development in English as well as providing an opportunity to learn another language. We encourage the use of words, sign-language, or pictures to describe our feelings, and we believe in a warm and nurturing approach while incorporating positive guidance and behavior management techniques.
