Program Overview

At Monarca Montessori Preschool, we serve children ages 2½ years to 6 years old.

Toddler Classroom

Toddler Classroom (2½ – 3½ years old)

In a Montessori setting, toddlers are cared for by a teacher who creates a peaceful, supportive, and safe environment, encouraging curiosity, exploration, and independence.

Development focuses on:

  • Social skills such as manners through peer interaction
  • Self-care tasks like washing, dressing, toileting, and eating
  • Environmental care including cleaning, food, plant, and animal care
  • Large-motor activities such as walking, climbing, running, jumping, and balancing
  • Fine-motor skills like grasping, using tools, and art
  • Language development involving naming, describing, discussing, singing, and talking
Oruguitas Program

Oruguitas (3 to 4½ years old)

The teacher conducts all individual and group lessons in Spanish, children will learn by demonstration, repetition and songs. The children engage in purposeful Montessori work in areas of Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, and Cultural Studies.

*The Oruguitas program is for children who take a nap after lunch.

Mariposas or Kindergarten program (4½ to 6 years old)

Kindergaten children in the environment continue working on their Montessori curriculum in more depth. Since they are able to concentrate for a longer period of time, they further explore their environment through language and math.
