The infant program is designed to optimize the development of each child, and is based on several important key concepts

Designed as a gentle transition from home to school, our toddler daycare Plano program encourages cooperative learning, fosters a sense of community among children and provides the toddlers increasing independence. The toddler daycare program in Plano is designed to optimize the development of each toddler.

The Pre-Primary/preschool program is designed around the basic Montessori concept of “freedom within limits.” The environment is prepared with age-appropriate materials and exercises that encourage each child’s natural curiosity and enthusiasm. The equipment in the prepared preschool class environment and outdoor area, as well as the consistency of our routines, has all been carefully designed to foster the development of our youngest students.

In this classroom the traditional Montessori mixed age grouping becomes much more noticeable. Peer mentoring adds to the excitement as the younger child observes what he will soon learn and the older child has an opportunity to fully master her new skill by teaching it to someone else. By the time a child graduates to the elementary level he will have the foundations of reading and writing, have an understanding of addition and subtraction, and know the world’s continents & the countries of at least one continent. Most importantly the child will be experienced at thinking independently, working in a concentrated manner for an extended period of time and best of all be an expert problem solver. These are the skills that will serve him the rest of his life.

Language contains four primary skill areas: grammar, word study, composition, and spelling. The Montessori environment that we create at American Montessori Campus lends a hand in preparing the child for both reading and writing (left to right, top to bottom).
