Curriculum Overview

Our curriculum consists of a carefully prepared, fun, and loving environment that encourages all the children to learn individually at their own pace. We have a dynamic learning environment with a wealth of concrete, manipulative learning materials that encourage children to discover and learn during these crucial early childhood years. Montessori teachers are trained to observe each child and to put them in touch with things they are most interested in learning; the results are joy, immense satisfaction, and excitement about learning.

Our Programs

• Infants (6 weeks – 18 months) – Our infant environments embody Maria Montessori’s vision of a “Nido” or nest; they are peaceful, loving places where babies can explore and feel secure. All the teachers speak in gentle tones, the daily pace is unhurried, and décor is understated and homelike. Each child in our care is an individual to be nurtured with affection and respect. As is customary for Montessori environments, every detail is selected with the child’s whole development in mind.
• Toddlers (18 months – 3 years) -Our toddler program focuses on a period of a child’s development and growth. During this stage, children develop 80% of their personality, enhance their mobility, improve their gross and fine motor skills, as well as learn they are separate individuals yet a vital part of a community. It is a critical time of development for a child. Working with the children’s natural tendencies shows them respect for their childhood, and encourages them to enjoy learning. Our teachers take great care in providing a nurturing, safe, and comfortable atmosphere, while at the same time igniting the child’s natural curiosity in the many materials and activities offered in the classroom. Children are not required to be potty-trained to enter this program.
• Primary (3 – 6 years) -Our primary program offers an authentic, high-quality Montessori education that meets the needs of each child in Flower Mound by offering them opportunities for optimal development. Our primary classrooms offer a rich, engaging experience where children can joyfully explore with freedom and confidence as they master each new skill. Our environments are prepared with a focus on fostering discovery and a love of learning within a framework of developmentally appropriate activities or ‘works’.This framework presents the entire scheme of the curriculum to the child in a hands-on, dynamic, and carefully sequenced format. The child spontaneously chooses his or her own work and repeats it over and over to gain mastery. Our program offers a curriculum that is individually paced to meet each child’s needs. Our classrooms offer a mixed-age range from three to six years where the younger ones learn from the older ones. This provides opportunities for leadership, cooperation, and a sense of community.
• Elementary (6 – 9 years) – At Castle Montessori Schools, our elementary program allows school-age children to work in small groups on projects that are intellectually challenging through the expert guidance of a trained teacher and an environment that supports the growing needs of the children through their developmental stages. Elementary school studies include geography, biology, history, language, mathematics, music, and arts. Our curriculum includes outdoor trips to community places such as the library, botanical garden, factories, hospitals, and science museums. The essential goal of a Montessori education at the elementary level is to provide an opportunity for the child where he or she can follow his or her natural development to the highest potential.
