The children’s house program is designed for aged 3 to 6 years old. Children explore hands-on Montessori manipulatives in language, math, sensorial, practical life, culture, and science, thereby building independence, concentration, confidence, and passion for learning.

Practical life is the most important stepping stone that builds the foundation in all areas of the Montessori classroom. By participating in activities like pouring, preparing food, tonging, spooning, and tweezing children refine their muscular coordination, develop concentration, learn order, and also learn to take care of self and environment. All activities usually follow a left-to-right and top-to-bottom orientation which indirectly prepares the child for reading and writing.

Sensorial materials fulfills the instinctive desire to see, touch, taste, hear, and feel around them. Each piece of sensorial material isolates one quality like color, weight, taste, touch, smell and dimension. It helps children to classify the environment by logical reasoned thoughts, and thus build the foundation for physical and mental activities in learning. It refines their five senses and helps them move along from concrete to abstract thinking in language development, writing and math.

Language activity starts with pre-language like rhyming, categorizing, sequencing of story card and matching opposite cards. Children master alphabet sounds through sorting objects of beginning sounds. This process helps them to encode and decode two to three sounds together which leads to read CVC words, phonogram words, blends, compound words and word families.

The foundation of early math skills starts with practical life lessons where children develop a concept of order, sequence, and exactness, sensorial explorations of dimensions, and categorization. In the beginning, children learn math using math manipulatives in a concrete approach. However, with repetition and successive mathematical activity, children gradually move to more abstract thinking. The Montessori curriculum for this age group branches from simple 1-10 work to basic operations of addition, multiplication, subtraction, division, and the decimal layout.

In geography, children at Paramount are exposed to hands-on puzzle maps of the world and the seven continents. They also learn about landforms, habitats and communities.
Science is taught through hands-on activities like living vs non-living, the lifecycle of a butterfly, planets, sink & float lessons and more.

Maria Montessori always believed in educating the whole child. So she incorporated hands-on activities in art, music, zoology, botany geography, and history. At Paramount Montessori, children are exposed to different cultures and festivities through songs. They learn the rhythm with drums, rhythm sticks, bells: triangles, and other musical instruments. Besides learning culture, music has other aspects too. Seasonal activities and festivals are reflected through art projects in our school. Children love to draw, paint make crafts relating to special occasions and celebrations all year round.

We encourage children to participate in various art activities like stenciling, coloring, stamping, paper punching, painting, and more.

We offer Spanish, Yoga, Music & Movement, Show and Tell, and Arts & Crafts.
