Introduction to Primary

““The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn.””

- Maria Montessori

Oak Farm Montessori School’s carefully planned Primary environments have been created using Montessori principles. These environments support the student’s natural desire to learn by embedding an academic atmosphere in a well-ordered social community. Order, concentration, coordination, and independence are nurtured through the use of Montessori materials. These materials also build a foundation for math, writing, reading, and cultural subjects such as geography, the sciences, history, art, and music.

In the classroom each child is honored as an individual learner, maximizing their potential. The teacher has an in-depth relationship with each student based on respect, warmth, patience, and understanding.
