Inspiring a Love of Learning at Montessori Schools in St. Louis
The Montessori Method is a practice and philosophy that recognizes children’s natural curiosity and desire to learn. Materials in a Montessori setting are more like tools for self-discovery and engaging with the world around them. Children will develop knowledge, skills, and friendships that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.
Our childcare curriculum and activities build off of the Montessori Method’s 5 areas of learning, which include:
- Practical Life
- Sensorial
- Language
- Mathematics
- Cultural
We are very passionate about teaching the Montessori Method in our classrooms. We hope our knowledge and passion inspire your children to become independent, creatively-minded individuals.
Developmental Stages and Age Groups in Montessori Curriculum
The Montessori method groups children by developmental stages, not by age. Typically, our children enter our rooms at the following:
- Infant daycare – as young as 6 weeks old and up to about 8 months
- Toddler care– around 8 months of age when they show signs of becoming mobile and up to about 36 months when they have only one nap per day, no longer use bottles, and are eating table foods
- Montessori Preschool – ages 3-6
For these age groups, a Montessori education provides a personalized approach, catering education to each child’s developmental needs.
