Our main focus centers on promoting social-emotional development. We provide a nurturing environment where each child can comfortably develop the social-emotional skills, problem-solving abilities, and healthy decision-making. The teachers utilize stories and activities to assist the children in identifying, addressing and expressing their feelings and emotions.
The Montana Preschool is inspired by the Reggio-Emilia preschool philosophy. We believe that children are explorers, who try to understand the world by making their own theories to explain how it functions. Therefore we provide sufficient time for children to explore, learn, express, and revisit a given project. Our teachers are researchers, learners, and data gatherers. They will attentively observe, listen, and document the children’s work and growth. Teachers will also co-construct, stimulate thinking, and provoke children’s collaboration with their peers.
We believe in balance and therefore teach academics through songs, projects, games, and fun activities.
