Open Day June 9
Casa dei Bambini
Program for children between the ages of 3 and 6 years
"The education of a very small child does not aim at preparing him
for school, but for life."

- Dr. Maria Montessori
Our Casa Dei Bambini program is available for children ages 3 through 6. Casa Dei Bambini is a private educational program that uses the Montessori curriculum to educate your child and to teach independence. Your child will benefit from the multi-age classrooms that help students learn and support each other. And, children learn at their own pace. This allows a child to find activities and areas that excite them. And, they'll thrive as they learn and grow in activities that they enjoy.
Stocking the Library of the Senses
Young children learn through their senses. A Casa dei Bambini classroom contains carefully designed materials to let children explore and put names to a variety of sensations: size, color, shape, texture, scent, sound, and more. Children take pleasure in games of organization: sorting or ordering objects, counting beads, etc. Other activities provide physical, tangible introductions to the mechanics of language (parts of speech, etc.) or to concepts of number (the decimal system and basic mathematical operations).
Primary children are eagerly acquiring language, both in size of vocabulary and complexity of expression. The Sandpaper Letters allow the child to learn the sounds and shapes of the letters of the alphabet, tracing the shapes using the same hand movements they will later use to write. Older children choose letters from the Moveable Alphabet to "write" their own stories, even before their hands are able to easily direct a pencil. Children are eager to express themselves, and often find through writing their own sentences that they are suddenly and spontaneously able to read their own compositions—and others'. Montessori-educated children routinely enter first grade as fully competent readers and writers.
"Help me do it by myself" says the Montessori child's voice. An entire area of the classroom is devoted to "practical life" activities: preparing food; opening and closing fasteners from buttons to bows to buckles to velcro; washing tables; polishing silver. Children learn how to take care of themselves, and gain a sense of self-confidence and mastery in doing so.
Several materials provide a physical introduction to the wider world. Puzzle maps allow the children to become familiar with the name and location of each country in the world. Collections of pictures and artifacts give a basic orientation to kinds of plants and animals, the cultures of the world, famous landmarks, cities, or artworks, and more. Children have the freedom to become deeply familiar with appealing, self-contained sets of knowledge that will aid future learning and make them aware citizens of the world.
