Morning Programs 2011
- 2012
At Garden Gate Montessori School we offer one beautiful Pre-primary Classroom space with adjoining outdoor work
spaces, and outdoor garden/play areas, enjoyed by all our students with schedules depending upon their ages.
Our peaceful morning
begins in the garden under the trees, in full view of our pond and flower gardens, and continues indoors in our homey well-lit,
well equipped classroom space, under the guidance of specially trained Montessori teachers.
Two Day “Transitional” Students 3- 4 of our youngest students blended with our
older 4 and 5 day students
Ages in September: 2 yrs. + 9 mos. - 3 yrs.Child is
turning 3 between September 15 and December 2. Child must turn 3 years by Dec.
2 to be age eligible.
Class Size: Mixed Age Group of: 20 students with 3 teachers
For our youngest students, who begin the year just under three
years of age, this class offers a secure circle of first time friends in a home and garden environment
where the younger preschooler’s natural sense of order and beauty, concentration, coordination, and independence unfold
under the nurturing guidance of a experienced Montessori teachers.
Practical Life, Sensorial activities, music, and movement are the appropriate emphases at this age level. But this class
also offers the children any learning material from which they are ready to benefit. Our more experienced four and five
morning students round out our desirable mixed age grouping for these students. In this way we are able to offer our younger
children the older mentors and role models who help them learn their new classroom routines and give offer them little individual
lessons with work materials.
Four and Five

Ages in September: 3.0 yrs.(by Sept. 15) to 5
yrs.+ 9 mos.
Children in this age range are ready
to benefit from the full range of Montessori Pre-primary materials and experiences in Practical Life, Sensorial and Art, Math,
Reading and Writing, Science, and Geography.
The Montessori Method offers the child a very rich and well rounded educational experience. Note:
With rare exception, children must be fully toilet trained to attend class 4 and 5 days per week.
A Note about the Kindergarten Year The Montessori Pre-primary class includes
the culminating with the kindergarten year of the Montessori early childhood level. Children who remainin their class through
their kindergarten year enjoy the benefit of making full use of the beautifully designed Montessori academic materials
for which they have prepared themselves in the preschool years. This is the child's leadership year when advanced
work within the child's well loved environment and community takes place. The child's Kindergarten year is the crowning
year that solidifies thechild's confidence, love of learning, inner motivation, and conceptual and skill development.
