Montessori Academy of Bear Creek's pre-school
classroom:

Is specifically prepared for the child "to cultivate his own
natural desire to learn."
• Is an individualized program that is child-paced to meet each child's
social, emotional, physical and academic needs.

The Montessori
classroom is a "living
room" for children.
Children choose their activities from open shelves with self-correcting
materials and work in distinct work areas - on tables or on rugs on
the floor. Over a period of time, the children develop into a "normalized
community" working with high concentration and few interruptions.
The
Montessori Academy of Bear Creek pre-school classroom includes
the following components:
• The practical life exercises enhance the development of task organization
and cognitive order through care of self, care of the environment,
exercises of grace and courtesy, and refinement of physical
movement and coordination.
• The sensorial materials enable the child to order, classify,
seriate,
and describe sensory impressions in relation, length, width, temperature,
mass, color, etc.
• The Montessori math materials, through concrete manipulative materials,
allow the child to internalize the concepts of number, symbol, sequence,
operations, and memorization of basic facts.
• The language work includes oral language development, written expression,
reading, the study of grammar, creative dramatics, and children's literature.
• The child is also presented with geography, history, life
