CASA

Casa de Bambini means "house of the children" in Italian and was the term Dr. Montessori originally used. We call this special environment "CASA". This perfectly describes this space designed like a small house for children encouraged to be resourceful, respectful, and responsible. Children ages 3 through 6, preschool through kindergarten, are invited to work with the Montessori curriculum in a Christian context. Trained teachers give beautiful lessons daily to help children grow in independence and abilities. The indoor environment has distinct areas of learning:
-
Mathematics
-
Language Arts
-
Practical Life
-
Sensorial
-
Science
-
History
-
Geography
-
Fine Arts
-
Faith
Mornings in our Children's House involve an uninterrupted work time where children move freely from one presentation to another, as well as outdoor time. At noon, they will eat lunch, where grace and manners are emphasized. Then, they will have a quiet siesta where stories will be read. Afternoons are a continuation of morning work and additional time spent in the outdoor environment. Older children will receive enrichment lessons in language and mathematics, learning extensions of the kinesthetic materials. This enables the child to enjoy and explore the world entirely and understand various operations, which results in math and language concepts being easily attainable.
