| A High Quality In-home Montessori Program |
In addition to the Montessori learning curriculum I can teach to speak Spanish through songs, games, greetings, commands, stories, and activities that introduce children to other cultures. Children can learn to speak foreign languages very efficiently at an early age.
Spanish and sign language are taught everyday during circle time and throughout the day!
Music and movement education will also be important parts of the curriculum as well as the Arts. They offer children ways to express themselves, their feelings, experiences and ideas. BBM are very interested in helping children develop control of their fine and gross-motor movement.
In my Montessori program the multi-age children work together in the same classroom; so older kids have the opportunity to teach to little ones and also serve as model to them!

During the first two years, students are introduced to the exercises of practical life, such as spooning beans, pouring water, and polishing silver. These exercises satisfy the child's need and achieve increasing levels of independence.
The exercises for practical life are designed to teach the child to function in they own environment by teaching they how to cope with the things around them. That fosters independence, coordination, order and concentration . This area is also where the child may first choose independent work

The child learns to grade and sequence objects according to various attributes, giving the student a clear, deep understanding of sequences, groups and sets. These activities prepare the child for the more advanced math and geometry activities of the kindergarten year. The student also meets a rich vocabulary in the process and learns to discriminate perceptually, using the senses.

Language is taught through a variety of multi-sensory activities: visual, auditory, tactile and kinesthetic. This ensures success by providing the appropriate experience for each child's individual learning patterns. As the child differentiates and recognizes sounds, he begins the process of word building and then blending sounds into meaningful reading.
Reading & writing go hand in hand, and working with sensorial material prepares the child for the introduction to both; because the child is learning refined movements of hand and fingers. Language development too is an integral part of the process of learning to read and write
