Our Programs
The Beaver Valley Montessori School Primary program (for preschool and kindergarten age students) is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Our mission is to offer early education experiences that instill a respectful global view and a passion for lifelong learning. The Montessori program offers consciously designed experiences that cultivate the child’s sense of independence, self-respect, love of peace, passion for self-chosen work, and the ability to celebrate the individual spirit.
Join us in giving your child a foundation that will support them throughout life.
Preschool
We accept preschool aged students as early as 2.7* years of age. Our curriculum consists of half day options, morning and afternoon, and a full-day program. Our multi-age classrooms create a strong foundation of learning that will set the stage for challenges children may encounter later in school and in life.
*Child should be potty-trained.
The child will be a leader in the very place he was once a careful observer. In the Montessori kindergarten year, the child now becomes a mentor to his younger peers. Independence and autonomy flourish!
Moreover, Montessori kindergarteners are highly motivated as they learn to be organized, to focus, and to begin to develop a work ethic that will last their whole life. They are self-directed, independent learners, and discover how to learn while they develop a love of learning.
*Must be age 5 as of September. Child must have attended a Montessori Program for 1 year prior to Admission. Space is limited.
Kindergarten
Our kindergartners are the oldest children and leaders in our multi-age, full day classroom. Children aged three to six in Montessori classrooms are growing from concrete to abstract in all developmental areas. The third year in the classroom is when concepts come together for each child. As a child progresses in a Montessori classroom the Kindergartener becomes a critical thinker and problem solver. The child becomes a role model in the classroom and school community and is confident to take on tasks on his own. A well-rounded learner emerges and is ready to take on the most challenging of tasks.
Montessori philosophy states that every child is born with far greater ability than is usually developed. We are committed to nurturing that ability. We provide an ideal learning environment for this world-acclaimed approach to early education.
