Casa (Ages 2.8 - 6 years)
At NMCA the children learn and explore their classroom environment with their God given senses. The Montessori materials are designed with the purpose of exciting the child’s interest. The children learn to focus and concentrate at a young age as they become quickly engrossed in their learning through presentations, individualized and small group learning opportunities. The Montessori environment consists of the following five areas which the children move through during the day. The children also enjoy thematic learning circles, bible stories and songs.​
​
Our focus is nurturing the five areas of Montessori Education, which includes:
-
Practical Life
-
Mathematics
-
Sensorial
-
Language
-
Geography & Culture
