Children’s House Program

(COMING SOON to the Queens/Long Island Area)

Aunty Montessori’s Children’s House follows the traditional Montessori curriculum, emphasizing the five primary
areas of Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language, and Cultural Studies. In addition, we offer three supplemental areas—Movement, Music, and Arts—to nurture the whole child and foster creativity, selfexpression, and physical development.

Practical Life

Practical Life activities are designed to help children develop the skills they need for daily living. These activities promote independence, self-regulation, and social interaction. Children also strengthen their ability to focus, practice responsibility, and gain confidence in their abilities through meaningful, real-world tasks.

Sensorial

Sensorial activities help children refine their senses, allowing them to better understand and categorize the world around them. These exercises encourage focused attention, discrimination between different stimuli, and the development of sensory awareness—all of which are foundational for future academic success.

Language

Montessori language activities aim to develop fluency in both spoken and written communication. These activities engage children in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, helping them build literacy skills in a natural, integrated way.

Mathematics

In Montessori, math is introduced through tactile experiences that make abstract concepts tangible. Handson materials allow children to explore numbers, patterns, and operations, building a deep and meaningful understanding of mathematical concepts.

Cultural Studies

Cultural Studies encompass a wide range of activities that introduce children to the world around them— geography, history, science, and botany. These studies help foster a global perspective and an appreciation for diversity and the environment.

Movement, Music & Arts

Physical activity is a key element in Montessori education, supporting the development of gross and fine motor skills. Movement activities help children improve their coordination, balance, and body awareness, fostering a healthy relationship with their bodies.

Daily Schedule

In a Montessori Children’s House, the daily routine is designed to nurture the whole child, balancing structure with freedom to encourage independence, creativity, and growth. The day begins with a calm arrival and Circle Time, where children connect with one another and prepare for the day ahead. Central to the routine is the **Montessori Work Cycle**, a three-hour period that allows children to engage deeply with self-chosen activities, fostering concentration and a love of learning. Movement and free play are woven into the day, as physical activity is essential for a child’s development and aligns with Montessori’s belief in learning through exploration. On days when special presentations, like science or cooking activities, are planned, one of the work cycles is devoted to these experiences. This flexible yet intentional routine provides children with the opportunity to grow in confidence, social skills, and self-reliance, all while being guided by their natural curiosity and intrinsic desire to learn.
