”Practical Life“, the cornerstone of the 3 to 4 Year Old Montessori Program, focuses on control of movement, care of the environment, care of self and social relations (grace and courtesy lessons). Through these exercises children are given the skills to function independently and develop their self-confidence. Other areas of focus include Sensorial, Language, Mathematics and Science. Sensorial exercises are presented for all five senses – visual (Pink Tower), tactile (touch tables), auditory (sound boxes), olfactory (smelling jars) and taste (tasting bottles). Language exercises add to the foundation with vocabulary expansion and writing as the main focus. The child is introduced to Mathematics through concrete materials using Number Work Progression and Introduction to Numbers.
