Primary Program

“We chose Children’s Own School as our preschool because of their accredited Kindergarten program. In addition to academic readiness, our child has developed confidence and independence ahead of entering first grade.”

– Jennifer

Our Primary program is the traditional multi-age Montessori program designed specifically for children around three-years-old to six-years-old.  Children are given sequenced lessons intended to increase their skills and independence. When they complete the three-year developmental cycle of a Montessori primary program, children are ready to enter first grade.

Children freely move between all areas of the classroom which include Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, and Literacy. Art, music and storytelling are incorporated throughout the day. Our school day begins at at 8:30am and ends at 12:00pm or 3:00pm.

Music Program

Singing, dancing, rhythm exercises, and creative movement are part of the classroom music experience. Kindergarteners participate in weekly music instruction led by an early childhood music instructor, which includes learning about rhythm, pitch, composition, and the musical scale. In addition, they work cooperatively to write a musical which is performed for the community on the last day of school.

Visual Art

Children engage in daily art experiences in the classroom using paint, clay, collage and colored pencils.
