The Children's House Classroom
Welcome
to the Children’s House.
The students in this classroom are working on age
appropriate skills to help them become life long learners. These children are
focusing on the next step
in their educational journey, laying a solid foundation for their future. They are fine tuning what
they experienced in the Cottage Classroom. The children learn kindergarten readiness
skills in this warm and inviting environment. This is a literacy based
classroom with the goal to enrich vocabulary and language development as well as all other academic concepts.Children thrive in this classroom that is designed to meet their individual educational needs.
In a multi-aged classroom, the students benefit from peer mentoring. The younger children
look to the older children for guidance. The older students proudly share their knowledge with their younger friends.
Learning from a great friend is beneficial to the children of both
ages. Another advantage of a Montessori based classroom is the many "one on one" lesson students receive personally from their teachers.

practical life and social skills development.
