Math in a Montessori classroom uses abstract exercises and sensorial materials. The Montessori method works to progress from working with concrete materials to abstract thinking. Sensorial materials such as counting beads and numeral cards are used and are set up in levels of difficulty in the classroom for children to work through independently. Our Math curriculum focuses on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, numbers, units, and the concepts of quantity.

Through language-based activities (English & French) both written and spoken skills are explored. Concrete materials are used to develop the child’s ability to read, write and learn to communicate their unique feelings and thoughts.

The culture curriculum allows the child to explore themselves and the world they live in. They are presented with opportunities to understand similarities between their own and others and learn to respect and appreciate what it means. Cultural studies are presented to your child through lessons on science, history, geography, zoology, art, music, and physical education.

Sensorial curriculum aims to develop the Child's intellectual senses enhancing your child’s ability to observe and compare. Sensorial exercises develop skills in visual perception, auditory sense, and tactile impressions. Sensorial activities aim to sharpen the quality of the five senses through texture, smell, colour, shapes, temperature, weight, taste, sound and dimension. These activities develop children’s way of abstract thinking and ability to form mental images.

The Practical Life curriculum focuses on the Child's need to learn about themselves and others. Our exercises focus on understanding courtesy and grace and helping our environment. These teach your child how to blossom an interest and be involved in and out of the home. Practical Life exercises promote mind and body movement, coordination, focus, attention, self-help, exploration and care for the environment, which are all important goals of the Montessori methods.  We believe that by following this approach, our student’s self-esteem will come from an internal sense of pride in their own accomplishments and the freedom to focus on the things that interest them the most!

French is incorporated in Greenlane Montessori's curriculum and is offered in all the programs. Following the Montessori philosophy and methodology, our teachers and educators help children to develop different areas of language such as: spoken language, perceived language, phonemic awareness, creating words, and reading in both English and French. French is also offered alongside other areas of Learning such as math, science, zoology, culture, and practical life. Students are introduced and exposed to new vocabularies on a daily basis and are encouraged to express their needs, interests, and ideas in French

Animals are one of the favourite topics for children. Montessori zoology provides children with a variety of learning opportunities and lessons to develop more knowledge and understanding. We start teaching the children different categories and sub-groups of the animals as well as their habitats and needs for protection, respiration, reproduction, and nutrition through cards, classification games, and books.
