Programs

MSMC provides a thoughtfully and specially prepared environment, designed to promote academic, physical and psychological development. We know that children learn best by using all their senses, so the well-designed Montessori materials support children’s need to feel, see, hear, smell and taste. In our mixed-age classrooms, children are free to work at their own pace, collaborating in small groups lead by our Montessori teachers. Close attention is paid to each child’s needs and interests. Each child develops according to his or her own natural rhythm. Children are able to learn and acquire an ‘inner discipline’ free of the need for external reinforcements.

At every level, our program is rich with:

  • a deeply interconnected curriculum that always focuses on integrated patterns of knowledge;
  • multi-sensory, self-directed learning;
  • an emphasis on both collaboration and independent thinking;
  • second language (Mandarin) & music learning; and
  • conflict resolution skill building.
  • We offer full day, half-day morning and afternoon Montessori programs, five days a week for 3 to 6 year olds.

MSMC Casa Program (for Ages 3 to 6 years old).

The Casa program is a 3-year program where children are engaged and explored in activities in Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Math, and Culture (including History, Geography, and Science. In our mixed-age classrooms, children are free to work at their own pace.

 

First Year (3 years old) Children in Casa

The children will focus on the Practical Life area to develop essential life skills, independence, confidence, and concentration. The Sensorial area is to refine the children’s five senses in preparation for later advanced academic discoveries.

 

Second Year (4 Years Old) Children in Casa

Children in their second year will start learning Language, Math, and Culture. They will be introduced to reading and writing skills. In Math, they will learn the numerals and symbols where they start to internalize the materials instead of memorization. Besides, they will also know more about the world around them.

 

Third Year (5 to 6 years old) (Kindergarten Casa program)

The third year is the most remarkable milestone. The first two years of the Casa program have prepared the child with a rock-solid foundation of learning. This preparation made a more significant jump in their learning progress. The children will internalize their knowledge and start to discover the connections.
