Our Pre-Primary Program is thoughtfully designed for children who are ready to move beyond the toddler stage but are not yet fully prepared for the academic structure of the Primary classroom. It also serves children who are still working toward complete toilet independence, offering support and patience during this important transition.
At this stage, your child is beginning to form their individual learning style and patterns. It’s a pivotal time to nurture a love for learning, develop classroom routines, and build the foundational habits that support future academic success.
Every lesson in the Pre-Primary classroom at Pinnacle Montessori of Sherman at Dorchester is intentionally crafted to engage all types of learners:
By incorporating all three modalities into daily lessons, we ensure that each child feels engaged, understood, and empowered to learn in a way that works best for them.
In our Pre-Primary environment, learning is play-based yet purposeful. Children begin to:
Learn basic math concepts—recognizing numbers and understanding quantity through hands-on manipulatives
This stage marks the beginning of concrete learning, where children use tactile materials to internalize abstract concepts. Whether they’re tracing sandpaper letters or sorting number counters, the freedom to revisit lessons encourages confidence and deep understanding.
Each day, our teachers introduce new lessons that capture your child’s curiosity while reinforcing previously learned skills. Children are free to repeat and explore materials as often as they like— developing focus, responsibility, and a growing sense of autonomy in a safe and loving space.
The Pre-Primary Program at Pinnacle Montessori of Sherman at Dorchester is an exciting and essential step in your child’s early education. We’re honored to guide them as they build confidence, explore their world, and prepare for the next stage of their learning journey.
Unlock a world where your child can excel both academically and emotionally.
