Programs and Curriculum

Dayspring Montessori School puts high value on children, recognizing their dignity, individuality, and their personal potential. 

Our programs affords children the opportunity for maximum growth--creatively, intellectually, and socially--by allowing them to explore and work at their own pace without fear of failure.

Our programs are for children 2 years old through Kindergarten. Children who enter our program between the ages of 2 to 3 are strongly encouraged to stay for the entire 3-4 year cycle. 

Multi-Age Grouping

Dayspring classes are grouped according to Maria Montessori’s philosophy of combining ages together. The classes are designed to have children ages two to three, or three to six together.

Grouping these ages together enhances both academic and social development. Younger children are challenged and stimulated by the academic progress of the older children. They want to be like the older children, and see what they are learning. The older children benefit much by being models and peer level tutors or coaches of the young children. By teaching the concepts, the older children learn teaching skills and gain confidence and leadership. Teaching and leading are skills that are desirable at every stage in life and the best time to set the foundations for these skills and the corresponding self confidence is childhood.
