The Montessori Curriculum
See the full curriculum
Eight areas. One joyful love of learning.
Every classroom is divided into dedicated areas, each filled with hands-on materials children choose and master at their own pace.
Practical Life
Concentration, coordination, independence and grace & courtesy — the foundation for every other area.
Sensory Perception
Exploring dimension, color, shape, texture, smell and taste to sharpen focus and classification.
Language
Sandpaper letters, moveable alphabet and metal insets build a strong path to reading and writing.
Mathematics
Concrete, hands-on materials make abstract concepts — from counting to division — easy to see.
Science & Nature
From dinosaurs to the solar system — plus our own vegetable and flower garden each spring.
Geography
Puzzle maps, globes and flags open a window to the world and the diversity within it.
Art
Painting, watercolor, clay and drawing — with seasonal themed projects throughout the year.
Music
Weekly Musikgarten classes with a childhood music specialist — included in tuition.
A Typical Day
A rhythm children can count on.
Structure and routine ease transitions, reduce anxiety and build healthy habits — while leaving plenty of room for play.

“This is the best school for my son. After two other schools didn't work out, I found Sunshine Montessori — now he's a busy boy who doesn't want to leave when I come to pick him up.”LLiza R.Sunshine parent · Google review
★★★★★
“Our very active boys both attended from ages 3 to 6 and 2 to 6. The calm, focused environment was very good for them. There's a steady culture of caring for the children and their education that stems from the owners.”AAllison H.Sunshine parent · Google review
