Maria Montessori maintained that a more profound impression of life is gained through movement than by simply using visual or auditory aids. Voluntary repitition of movement is of the utmost importance for mental development. Children feel a sense of calm and repose in the Montessori atmosphere because everything has its proper place. Children are free to choose and complete a task on their own. Over a three-year period, the teacher guides the children in the proper use of each set of learning materials, then leaves them free to work and discover.The learning materials include practical life, sensorial, language, and math skills.
The Clockhouse Montessori School accepts children between the ages of 21/2 and 3. Classes for children younger than five are scheduled from 9 AM to 12 PM five days a week. Children are grouped with mixed ages so they can interact and learn from one another.
A kinder-care program is available for any child younger than five. This service consists of rest, play, and story time from 12 PM to 3 PM.
Classes for children who are five by September 1 are scheduled from 9 AM to 3 PM five days a week. The afternoon session places special emphasis on math, language, and writing skills. Children in this session also receive instruction in library science, technology, and Spanish.
