Curriculum & Programs

The Nido (Infant) Curriculum focuses on fostering basic trust in the child. Foremost in the environment is the adult whose caring, respectful response to your infant’s needs, both physical and psychological, conveys the message of unconditional love and acceptance. Elements of the Montessori Kids Universe program are incorporated into the infant environment for the purpose of exposing the younger children to typical Montessori materials. The youngest members of the Montessori Kids Universe Hillsborough community are kept in the Nido (Italian for “nest”) which is designed with a special movement area specific to this age group’s needs. In this space the children have access to Montessori materials designed specifically for infants, a quiet sleeping area with individual beds/cribs, an eating area equipped with child sized tables and a physical care area for bathing and changing.

Pre-Primary (2 Years– 3 Years) The Montessori Pre-Primary class is an environment prepared to meet the developmental needs and high energy levels of children who are transitioning from toddler to pre schooler. Of particular importance in this program is preparation of children for the larger works of the primary classroom with a focus on self-care including grace and courtesy, internal self discipline and the ability to make choices in the classroom. In addition to being exposed to math materials that help the children develop an awareness of numbers, counting and basic math operations, at this stage the children also have access to a special language area with materials to develop the preliminary skills for writing and reading. Specially-created materials in the Pre-Primary room serve to give the children a sense of satisfaction and become more independent in their learning.

Primary (3 Years – 6 Years) The Montessori Primary classroom, for age group three to six years old, is carefully designed for children to “learn by doing”. It is a calm, structured space constructed to meet a child’s individual needs. Here your child experiences a blend of freedom and discipline in a space specifically designed for his or her optimal development. During these formative years the social, physical, and intellectual functioning of the child is unified. The most important function of the Primary program is to provide children with an early and general foundation that includes a positive attitude towards school, inner security, and a sense of order. That foundation goes on to include pride in the physical environment, abiding curiosity, habits of concentration, initiative and persistence, the ability to make decisions, self-discipline.

The Kindergarten year is a time when many of your child’s earlier lessons come together and become a permanent part of his/her education. The Kindergarten year is integrated to demonstrate the connections between the different areas of study and higher level skills. This important year highlights critical thinking, composition and research based projects.
