LOOK AT THE CHILD. The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the period from birth to age six.. for that is when intelligence itself, her greatest implement, is being formed.

- Maria Montessori

The primary environment mixes three, four, and five year old children and offers an ungraded, individualized learning experience structured to each child's unique learning potential. Activities to promote and refine skills of sensorial discrimination, develop coordination, and invite concentration are presented with varying degrees of challenge. The skills of living and social-emotional development, as well as skills of learning, are encouraged.
