Welcome to Keystone Montessori Preschool

 

Montessori educational programs are based on the development of the child. Carefully prepared Environment to cater to the needs of the child at their particular stage of development. As the child grows, the environment shifts to meet the child’s needs and to afford him/her maximum engagement in learning activities. As a result, our programs are divided by a child’s stage of development, called “Planes of development” in Montessori, rather than age.

​

The First Plane of Development

 

Children from birth to age 6 possess what Dr. Montessori called the absorbent mind, the ability to absorb all aspects of one’s culture and environment without effort or fatigue. As a result, practical and purposeful work is emphasized as an aid to this period of the child’s self-construction. The work is individual and hands-on because this is how children work best at this age. 0-3 is unconscious absorbent mind and 3-6 is conscious absorbent Mind.
