Infant Care (Newborn - 18 months)
A beginning built on movement, trust, and gentle exploration. Children are guided through language and sensory activities that encourage awareness and confidence. Every day, small achievements lead to big growth.
Pre-Primary (18 months - 3 years)
A transitional space for strengthening coordination, language, and independence. Children are guided through early social experiences and practical life lessons that encourage self-care and curiosity.
Primary (3 - 6 years)
The cornerstone of Montessori education. Children explore practical life, math, and early literacy through hands-on materials that build focus and self-discipline. A respectful setting fosters confidence and a lasting love of learning.
Lower Elementary (Grades 1-3)
Students deepen their academic foundation through research, collaboration, and exploration. Lessons in science, geography, and language help them connect ideas and strengthen problem-solving skills. Every project nurtures curiosity and community awareness.
Upper Elementary (Grades 4-6)
Older students expand their independence through inquiry-based learning and leadership opportunities. They manage long-term projects, participate in community work, and take pride in meaningful accomplishments. These years prepare them for middle school and beyond.
What Makes Montessori Special for Your Child
Learning by Doing
At Country Day Montessori, children don’t just read about concepts—they experience them. In our Windcrest area school, students grasp math with hands-on beads and blocks, explore geography with puzzle maps, and learn biology by caring for plants and animals. This interactive approach deepens understanding beyond memorization. Many Windcrest parents are amazed at how naturally their children master reading, writing, and math simply because learning comes alive in our classrooms.
Growing Independence
Children are capable of more than they’re often given credit for. In our classrooms, even young students choose their work, care for materials, and solve problems independently. Teachers guide rather than do tasks for them, allowing children to prepare snacks, clean up spills, and maintain their environment. This responsibility builds confidence and life skills that benefit them at school and home—leaving many Windcrest families surprised by their child’s independence.
