In a Montessori classroom, children are encouraged to express their feelings and creativity through art, music and movement. Art activities are open-ended allowing children to express their creativity freely through cutting, gluing, collage, paper tearing, coloring/drawing using different mediums such as crayons, paints, glue, clay etc. In addition to these activities children are also introduces to famous artists and composers and their work.

Traditional nursery rhymes, action songs, and songs from around the world are sung at circle time as a group.

Music and movement are great for the brain development of young children. In addition to our regular music and movement component in the classroom, children have music classes once a week with a trained music teacher.

Our music program includes singing, dancing/movement, and exposure to different instruments and composers. The purpose of music in the Montessori curriculum is to develop the children’s nonverbal affective communication, which will increase their understanding and enjoyment of music, and enhance their ability to express themselves through music.
