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
  
The sensorial materials provide the children with opportunities to explore colors, shapes, smells and sounds. Children learn best when allowed to touch, feel, hold, smell, listen and taste. The sensorial materials are designed to refine the senses while also preparing the child for further learning in math and language.
