Montessori Programs
Since 80% of a child’s mental development takes place before the child is eight years old, quality education during this period is critical. In the Montessori tradition, each class is a prepared environment alive with a wealth of intriguing materials. By nurturing the child’s own capacities for concentration, perseverance and thoroughness, the Montessori approach fosters feelings of security, self-esteem, competence and pleasure in accomplishment. The aim for the young child is to establish foundations for a lifetime of creative and joyful learning.
Toddler Program (13 months and up)
Langley Montessori School offers a unique and stimulating toddler program for very young children. This program meets the developing needs of toddlers as well as introducing basic Montessori concepts and routines that promote independence and self-care. The program is five full days a week.
Pre-school and Kindergarten (Ages 3-5)
Langley Montessori School offers preschool, extended all day care and kindergarten programs for children aged three to five years. Each child moves at his/her own pace through all areas of the classroom – Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics and Cultural. The teacher’s job is to observe and guide the child as his/her natural development unfolds. Students may attend half-day or full day classes. Kindergarten students attend a full day program. All programs are five days a week.
Elementary (Grade 1 to grade 7)
The Montessori Elementary receives children already accustomed to being independent, self-motivated learners and encourages them to use their maturing reason and will to become highly productive and skilled individuals, cooperative with others, and appreciative of the world in which they live.
Children of the elementary years have remarkable intellectual powers which are enhanced by educational resources and by the imagination of the adults around them. Responding to the boundless learning capacities of the elementary age, the Montessori curriculum aims not only to prepare children to perform at the BC curriculum grade level, but to achieve the highest level to which they themselves aspire. Therein lies its distinguishing feature:
The curriculum follows the child and not the other way around.
