Studies show that 90% of a child’s brain develops during the first 5 years of life. This means that children may often fall behind in both academic and social skills if they are not exposed to educational stimulation at an early age.

One of the best ways to ensure that your child develops a strong educational foundation for the rest of their life is to enroll them in a private elementary school or preschool. Are you having trouble finding the right school for your child? Consider what your toddler will learn in Montessori School.

Toddler Programs

The Montessori toddler programs are designed for children 18 months through 3 years of age. It is during this stage that children develop 80% of their personality, improve gross and fine motor skills, enhance mobility, and ultimately learn that they are an individual part of the overall community. The Montessori school believes that this is a critical time for your child’s development and therefore strives to work with your child’s natural tendencies in order to encourage them to enjoy learning.

Inside the Classrooms

Your Montessori teacher will allow each student to work at their own pace while exploring math, language, geography, botany and science, social studies, and music and art. By putting an emphasis on the process rather than the product of learning, Montessori teachers can promote learning, mastery of self, social competence, and self-discipline. There are also several enrichment programs available for your toddler, including computer instruction, outdoor gardening, science experimentation, reading programs, fine arts, and physical education. These programs are designed to supplement academic instruction and allow for a variety of activities to take place on a daily basis.

With 17 classrooms devoted to music, science, and math, the Montessori Schools provides a comfortable and intriguing learning environment for your child.

Are you looking for the elementary school that will work best for your child? Sometimes a private elementary school, such as a Montessori school, is your best option. 

 While all children can benefit from the individualized attention and focus on personal development provided by a Montessori school, here are a few signs that your child might be an exceptional fit at one of our private elementary schools:

1. Curiosity

If your child is particularly curious about the world around them and learning through hands-on experiences, then a Montessori elementary school or preschool might be the best option for your child. The Montessori method caters to this instinct—learning concrete actions and concepts through the use of all of a child’s senses—while public schools focus on mimicking and repetition.                                  

2. Doesn’t function well under pressure

Sometimes children struggle when they first get into school because of the strict structure of assignment and task due dates. If this is the case with your child, then a Montessori plan for preschool or elementary school is just right. Our private schools allow the students to learn at the pace that is good for them, making them more interested and successful with what they are learning.

3. Shyness

A particularly shy child, especially in preschool or early elementary school, may struggle in school due to the fact that interacting with large groups of people is daunting. At a Montessori school, the child has the opportunity to interact one-on-one with their teachers and peers, or, if they wish to concentrate on their own activities instead, they can choose to focus instead of forced socialization.

If you think that putting your child into a Montessori school would help them excel, then contact the Montessori School at Starcreek in Allen. For an overview of the programs that we offer, visit our website.

Are you unsure about which elementary school is best for your child? It is difficult to make a decision when it comes to your child’s education, because it’s absolutely critical that whichever avenue you take produces the best results.

This video discusses the pros and cons of public and private schooling to help you make a decision about whether or not to place your child in a private school. Children and parents are both interviewed, giving you a personal scope on which option may be the best for you.
