Curriculum
Inspiring a Love of Learning
At Hillside Montessori, our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity, foster independence, and nurture every child’s natural desire to learn. Rooted in the Montessori philosophy, we guide children to explore, create, and discover at their own pace, building a strong foundation for lifelong success.
Curriculum
Montessori Approach
Our classrooms are prepared environments where students are free to choose activities that engage their interests and challenge their abilities. Through hands-on materials and self-directed learning, children gain practical skills, self-confidence, and a deep respect for themselves and others.
Curriculum
Core Areas of Learning
Our curriculum covers five key Montessori areas, each supporting your child’s growth and development:
Practical Life
Children build independence and coordination through daily living activities—pouring, sorting, cleaning, dressing, and caring for their environment.
Sensorial
Hands-on materials help children refine their senses, develop focus, and build an understanding of shapes, colors, textures, and more.
Language
Children explore spoken language, phonics, reading, and writing in an environment rich with conversation, stories, and creative expression.
Mathematics
Montessori math materials introduce counting, number recognition, operations, and problem-solving, making abstract concepts concrete and fun.
Culture & Science
Children discover the world around them through activities in geography, science, art, music, and nature, encouraging curiosity and global awareness.
