Little Hands Together MONTESSORI

At Little Hands Together, our flexible curriculum, which enables students to work at their own pace, includes the following areas: 

• Language: English/Spanish Immersion Program:

The mental benefits of learning a foreign language as a child show up in a numerous ways. Children who speak a foreign language perform better especially with testing in math and English than their monolingual peers.

They also start reading at an earlier age, and are better at understanding grammar. The mental benefits of learning a foreign language last into adulthood. 

Spanish language exposure -The first three to four years of life are considered the best time for children to learn a second language. Prepare your child for the future, starting now.

• Sharing Day Program: 

At Little Hands Together, we teach our children a letter per week, a color per week and a shape per week. We will ask our children to bring one thing from home according to the letter, color and shape they learn this week to show and share with classmate. This is a very effective way to teach children how to share. And also helps them to memorize what they learn better. Bring abstract concept to concrete concept is the best way to early childhood learning because they learn from five senses such as touching, visual, smelling, tasting and hearing. 

• Music Class/Instrument/Dancing Class Program:

At Little Hands Together, we promote music into our children’s daily life. We use songs throughout the day to help children transition from one activity to the next. For instance when its time to clean up, going outside, washing hands, before lunch time and most importantly during circle time. We have a Music teacher that will visit the school once a week. The children will have the opportunity to dance and create music using a variety of instruments. 

• Yoga Program: 

At Little Hands Together, we will have Yoga  every other Friday. The children will learn how to relieve any stress they might have and will learn how to calm themselves by practicing how to breathe in and out. 

• Art Program: 

At Little Hands Together we attach importance to develop our children’s art cell. 

According to Reggio Emilia philosophy, children are born as artists. We do individual or group art program once a week. It is good for teaching our children about teamwork, learning cooperation and communication with others. Also, it motivates the creativity and manipulative ability.

• Physical Education:

At Little Hands Together we promote Physical Education because we firmly believe that children should be active while having fun. Physical Education plays a vital role in the development, growth, and learning process of children. It also provides experiences that allow the children to mature in working alone, with a partner, as a group member, and with a teacher.

• Cooking Class:

At Little Hands Together we encourage healthy eating habits. Once a week we will have a cooking class where the children will be able to build basic skills, encourage an adventurous palate, explore with their senses, and build their self confidence.

• Dramatic Play:

At Little Hands Together we encourage children to participate in Dramatic Play. The reason being is because it allows children to explore their thoughts and feelings. This is a place where the children learn to use their imagination, socialize, and problem solve. 

• Parents Participation Day: 

At little hands together we will have parents participate in day to day activities that occur at the school. This encourages communication between children and parents, which can foster higher self-esteem and confidence. It can also help children interact better with their peers and advance their social skills.
