Early Learning
Traveler, your footsteps are the path and nothing more; traveler, there is no path, you make the path by walking.
Antonio Machado
Welcome to Montgomery Early Learning—a place for little explorers to wonder and discover and make their world just a little bit bigger.
Montgomery School’s early childhood program is designed to provide a safe, nurturing and welcoming environment for little explorers to wonder and discover their joy of learning. We are dedicated to nurturing each child's cognitive, physical, social, and emotional growth with an integrated and comprehensive approach.
Whether your child starts their academic journey at the Playhouse or in PreK, they will be provided with a foundational learning experience that sets the stage for a lifetime of curiosity, exploration, and self-discovery, right from the start.
Playhouse for Preschoolers
The Playhouse Created by SALT Performing Arts offers a dynamic fusion of artistic expression through its signature programs in dance, music, movement, and dramatic storytelling. As our youngest learners, Playhouse students are uplifted in confidence and kindness during their foundational years. Children are guided along in their social and emotional development while learning how to collaborate with peers to socialize and problem solve. During this first year at Montgomery School, children establish the foundational social and pre-academic skills that support their transition from home into the classroom, as they build confidence and discover their love for learning.
Prek
Through a blend of structured learning and imaginative play, our focus in PreK is to prepare each child for the exciting challenges of the primary years. The PreK curriculum emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, problem solving, and fostering relationships through lessons in language development, early reading, and basic mathematical concepts, as well special areas including phy ed, technology, science, foreign language, art, and music. Students learn in an activity-based classroom through a variety of activities such as dramatic play, music and movement, art media, and motor manipulatives, building layer upon layer of what they already know. As they transition to kindergarten, they are ready to navigate new experiences with the foundational skills they need, a strong sense of self, and a sensitivity to others.
