Geometric Cabinet
The Geometric Cabinet presents the plane geometric shapes. The child matches wooden inserts to 3 sets of cards: cards with the shape printed in solid blue, cards with a thickly outlined shape, and cards with a thinly outlined shape. These exercises help prepare the student for recognizing different shapes associated with printed letters and numbers.
The School
A Child’s Garden is a private, non-profit Montessori preschool, founded in 1983. It is a full day, full year facility to best meet the needs of our families. The School is governed by the Executive Director and a Board of Directors. The school is licensed by the State and is affiliated with the American Montessori Society.
Our Philosophy
At A Child’s Garden each child grows intellectually, socially, and morally in an atmosphere of freedom and respect. Children are allowed to learn independently and without unnecessary interference. They become confident to try new things without fear of failure. Their natural curiosities are cultivated and their intellectual needs appropriately challenged. Each child is respected for their uniqueness and individuality.
Staff
An integral part of our program is the high quality staff we maintain. The Head Teachers are specially trained and certified Montessori instructors. Their extensive training enables them to prepare and maintain the environment while meeting the needs of each individual child. Assistant Teachers are trained with Early Childhood Education degrees and possess the qualities ideal to this unique environment.
Facilities
The facility offers two classrooms downstairs with office space, a library and a large meeting area upstairs. The outside environment includes a beautiful playground with gardens and apple trees throughout it and is surrounded by a natural, wooded area. The playground equipment includes swings, slides, climbing structures, a bike path, and a large sandbox.
