The language patterns they are developing at this age are accelerating, and this environment allows them the opportunity to explore and develop these particular skills through lessons and social interaction. The benefits of the Montessori multi-age grouping actually become a positive factor in your child\u2019s day-to-day educational, social, and emotional skill sets. It is within this environment that there will be an \u201cexplosion\u201d in their language development. The younger children have their older friends to interact with and learn from, while the older children have their younger classmates to interact with, look after socially, show empathy toward, and even give simple work lessons to. These interactions create the sweetest classroom culture for the children to learn in each day.<\/p><p>It is on this foundation that educators begin establishing effective learning skills and habits, instilling the joys of independent learning. The class is a balance of children who are not ready for the Primary Environment and yet are too mature for the Toddler Classroom. It is also a safe place for children who are not entirely toilet trained. They can master that skill while simultaneously moving forward academically.<\/p><p><strong>Independence<\/strong><\/p><p>This is the age of independence, \u201cI can do it myself.\u201d Encouraging fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and confidence all lead toward true independence. Children at this age are truly capable. We, as educators and parents, must have faith in their abilities. If we doubt them, they will see and sense that. This will not lead to success. Allowing them time to complete tasks is equally vital.<\/p><p><strong>Routine<\/strong><\/p><p>Providing a consistent routine is foundational to the success of a Montessori child; therefore, we keep the day as consistent, day to day, as possible. Doing this makes an astounding difference in their learning trajectory.<\/p><p><strong>Self-Control<\/strong><\/p><p>This concept begins by teaching the child to first follow one direction at a time, then more than one at a time. Areas are marked off by colorful tape, showing where to line up to go outside. Protocols begin on their first day of class for choosing work, asking for lessons, placing work back on the shelf where they originally got it, and learning when to touch and when not to touch.<\/p><p><strong>Clean-Up<\/strong><\/p><p>From the first day of class, the child is taught that part of their lesson is to put work back where and how they found it so their classmates may also use the work. If anything drops and a mess occurs, they learn to clean up after themselves. What is wonderful is that often their classmates will lend a hand to help them, as will their teachers. The teachers will never initiate the clean-up. Instead, they will first encourage the child and always assist them toward a successful completion.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5e50ebe\" data-id=\"5e50ebe\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-9581728 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9581728\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-72604a8\" data-id=\"72604a8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51d9b96 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"51d9b96\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Pinnacle Montessori Of Warren Parkway<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-96dd456 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"96dd456\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Unlock a world where your child can excel both academically and emotionally.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b74ca9 elementor-align-center elementor-mobile-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"8b74ca9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-float\" href=\"https:\/\/pinnaclemontessori.com\/warren-parkway\/contact-us\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-phone-alt\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M497.39 361.8l-112-48a24 24 0 0 0-28 6.9l-49.6 60.6A370.66 370.66 0 0 1 130.6 204.11l60.6-49.6a23.94 23.94 0 0 0 6.9-28l-48-112A24.16 24.16 0 0 0 122.6.61l-104 24A24 24 0 0 0 0 48c0 256.5 207.9 464 464 464a24 24 0 0 0 23.4-18.6l24-104a24.29 24.29 0 0 0-14.01-27.6z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Contact Us<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Montessori Pre-K Program: Fostering Independence, Curiosity, and Lifelong Learning for Ages 3\u20136 The Pre-Primary Environment is designed for children ages 18 to 36 months.
