Curriculum

The program at MCHL is designed to meet the physical, social, emotional and cognitive needs of each child. Children are encouraged to develop good work habits and share in the responsibility of their learning. They work at their own pace and on their own level with gentle guidance from dedicated teachers. The Montessori materials are designed to appeal to the child's natural desire to learn. They are divided into the following areas:

• Practical Life
• Sensorial
• Language
  
The verbal skills of the young child are stimulated every moment at MCHL through conversation and exposure to high quality children's books. Reading and writing are intimately connected and integrated strategies are offered to ensure success. The tracing of a sandpaper letter provides the tactile, phonetic foundation for later reading. A variety of fun and enriching activities are available to facilitate the child's emerging writing skills, beginning with the early scribbling stage to keeping a daily journal.
