Sidewalk's End Montessori School Photo #1 - Transferring with chop sticks in the Practical LIfe section of the classroom helps the children learn the use of chop sticks, improves hand-eye coordination and strengthens the hand in preparation for writing.
Sidewalk's End Montessori School Photo #2 - This numeral & counters work reinforces the ability to count to 10 and to sequence numerals 1-10. This advanced presentation also introduces the concept of odd and even numbers. The work indirectly develops order, concentration, coordination and independence in the child.
Sidewalk's End Montessori School Photo #3 - The classic Montessori work called the moveable alphabet helps the child in his or her exploration and analysis of a known language. It allows the child to reproduce words with symbols (i.e. letters). It also gives the child a new way to communicate (the written word). This prepares the child for both writing and reading.
Sidewalk's End Montessori School Photo #4 - Making butter in Mason jars for the Annual Stone Soup Feast. The children make the soup and butter; families bring the bread. A great time is had by all!

School Reviews

5  
My child has been here for 3 years, and it has been a great learning environment. This is a traditional Montessori learning environment, that encourages kids to develop a lifelong love of learning. The classroom is quiet and calm, giving kids the best environment to learn I have come across as a parent. No overcrowding, lots of playtime, and help kids begin navigating friendships and conflicts successfully. Having opted for the private Kindergarten, we hate to leave and wish they would add more grade levels.
