Strongbridge Montessori School in Arcata, CA

Preschool Description

Strongbridge Montessori School provides a strong, Montessori-based education for children aged 2.5 through 5 years old. During her extensive early childhood education research, Dr. Montessori discovered that when children are allowed to learn through a prepared environment, they are capable of acquiring many skills, such as language arts, including reading, early math and science, as well as geography and arts and music. The child chooses their own activities from the didactic materials carefully designed by Dr. Montessori to be self-correcting and informative. Teachers act as a guide to introduce concepts to children and to urge them onward progressively. Subject areas include self-care, respect for others, human development and opportunities for outdoor free play. A typical 3-year-old student reads 3-letter phonetic words, can do simple math, and can identify the continents of the world. There are also monthly field trips throughout the community. Strongbridge strives to help the child establish a strong sense of themselves as productive members of society.
