About Our Montessori Lower Elementary Program
Our lower elementary classroom provides a carefully prepared learning environment where children begin their transition from concrete to abstract thinking. Elementary students explore the interconnectedness of all subjects through our Cosmic Education curriculum, which starts with the formation of the universe and works inward to help younger children understand their place in the world. This elementary program emphasizes collaborative work while supporting each student's individual learning path at their own pace.
From 6 to 9: Development Support for Every Stage
During this critical period, elementary students develop their reasoning minds through abstraction, critical thinking, and problem-solving activities. Children learn to work in small groups and participate in group lessons that encourage peer collaboration and moral development. Our elementary curriculum meets younger children where their imagination and creativity naturally flourish, while older children take on leadership roles within the inclusive community. The learning environment supports students as they explore cultural studies, language arts, and scientific concepts that connect to their daily lives.

I love that the staff creates such a safe space for both the kids and parents to be themselves. They are all so welcoming and open and extremely knowledgeable in childhood education. They have helped me and my family overcomes some of the hurdles that toddlerhood brings and develop positive approaches to difficult situations. We love MCHD!
