Our Program

Our Mission

Oak Hill Montessori’s mission is to help children become thoughtful and compassionate citizens of the world. We provide a carefully prepared and structured environment and we allow children freedom to reach their full potential. We believe strongly in the Montessori Method’s focus on educating the “whole” child.

Our Primary Classes

Oak Hill Montessori provides two Montessori classrooms for children between three to six years of age. Dr. Montessori discovered a three year age range for a classroom is extremely important because the children help one another: Younger children observe what older children are doing which piques their curiosity and older children can teach younger ones what they know differently than a teacher can. This interaction also encourages a sense of community, cooperation, and a feeling of achievement, making for a united, peaceful, and happy learning environment.

Our two Primary Classes are for ages 3 to 6. The Primary Class Curriculum focuses on Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, and Cultural Studies.

Respect

We speak to children like adults and we respect their individuality.

Responsibility

Children are taught to be responsible with the materials that they use.

Character

As Maria Montessori wrote, “A child’s character develops in accordance with the obstacles he has encountered… or the freedom favoring his development that he has enjoyed.”

Kindness

Teaching children compassion is an important part of our curriculum.
