Our Pre-Primary Curriculum is designed for pre-preschool children ages 2-3, the years during which a child’s personality and intellectual development really takes shape. Children of this age need not only love, emotional nurturance and a healthy physical environment, but also an environment which promotes their very real need to learn.

Summersun Montessori provides an environment that encourages, assists, and protects the normal development of each child: a prepared environment that will foster respect, support, and respond to their basic needs of independence, exploration, and the building of trust and self-esteem.

The structure of the curriculum is based on five developmental areas:

1. Sensory and Perception

2. Physical and Motor

3 .Self-Help Skills

4. Language

5. Social and Emotional

Our Pre-Primary program is led by one of our AMI-certified Montessori instructors, and is supported by our caring and experienced child-care staff.

A typical day in our Pre-Primary classroom will see children folding washcloths, sorting utensils after snack, returning activities to their proper place, listening to stories, singing group songs, or learning to use the potty. Unstructured play is critical component to each day, as well as many opportunities for exploring creativity and self expression.
