Welcome to the Infant program at Centerra Ranch Montessori School, where we prioritize the well-being and development of your little ones. Upon entering our infant room, you'll immediately notice a serene atmosphere designed to promote calmness and security, creating a soothing environment for our youngest learners.
Our dedicated infant teachers, trained in the Montessori approach, understand the importance of nurturing each child as an individual. With a low teacher-to-infant ratio, we ensure that every child receives the love, care, and attention they need to thrive. Just like at home, our staff members foster a warm and supportive atmosphere, building strong bonds with each infant in our care.
At Centerra Ranch Montessori School, we understand that entrusting your little one to someone else is a significant decision. That's why we strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment where your child can flourish, supported by a team of caring professionals who are dedicated to their well-being and development.
Toddler (12 - 24 Months)
At Centerra Ranch Montessori School, we believe that every child deserves a nurturing and stimulating environment where they can thrive and grow. In our Toddler Room, we are dedicated to providing a structured, familiar space where young learners can blossom into confident and curious individuals, ready to embrace the world with open hearts and eager minds.
As little ones step through the doors of the Toddler Room, they are greeted by a warm and inviting space meticulously designed to foster their development in every aspect. The room is thoughtfully organized into different areas, each tailored to stimulate the senses and encourage exploration.
At the core of our Toddler Program is a curriculum finely tuned to embrace the sensitive periods of life, ensuring that each child receives the nurturing and guidance they require to flourish. Throughout the day, our dedicated teachers engage young minds in a variety of activities that cater to their burgeoning interests and abilities.
Transition (24 - 36 Months)
The Transition Room serves as a bridge between the world of early childhood exploration and our pre-primary program. Designed with the principles of Montessori education at its core, this room offers a rich tapestry of experiences aimed at nurturing holistic development in our children.
At the heart of our Transition program lie five distinct Montessori areas: practical life, sensorial, language, math, and art. Each area is meticulously crafted to engage children in hands-on learning experiences that foster independence, creativity, and a thirst for knowledge.
In the Transition Room, every corner is a learning opportunity, and every activity is a chance for children to discover, explore, and grow. With a curriculum grounded in the four developmental areas of sensory and perception, physical and motor skills, self-help skills, and language, our Transition program sets the stage for a lifetime of learning and discovery.
Additionally, our Transition Room offers ancillary courses in Spanish, Yoga, Art, and music, providing children with opportunities to explore new interests and cultivate a well-rounded education.
Pre-Primary (3-4 Years)
Welcome to our vibrant and engaging pre-primary classroom, where every child is encouraged to thrive and reach their full potential. At Centerra Ranch Montessori School, we believe in providing a well-rounded education that nurtures the whole child.
Our carefully crafted curriculum caters to children aged 3 to 4 years old, providing a nurturing environment that stimulates their innate curiosity, fosters a love for learning, and prepares children for future academic success. The main pillars of this stage are language, physical, motor, sensory, perception, and self-help skills.
At Centerra Ranch Montessori School, we understand the importance of early childhood education, which is why our Pre-Primary teachers are specially trained with over 30 years of combined Montessori teaching experience. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 12:1, each child receives individualized attention to ensure their holistic development.
Primary / Bridge to Kindergarten (3 - 6 Years)
The primary room at Centerra Ranch Montessori School buzzes with the energy of young minds eager to learn and explore. Throughout the primary room, the ethos of the Bridge-To-Kindergarten program is evident. While embracing the principles of Montessori education, which values individualized learning and self-directed exploration, the curriculum also incorporates elements of Traditional education, ensuring that children are well-prepared for their future steps in education. The seamless integration of both approaches creates a dynamic learning environment where children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Central to the success of the Bridge-To-Kindergarten program is the dedicated team of educators who guide and support the children on their educational journey. Trained in both Montessori and Traditional pedagogies, these teachers possess the expertise and passion necessary to inspire a love for learning in every child.
As children move through our Primary room, they not only acquire knowledge and skills across core academic subjects but also develop essential life skills such as independence, resilience, and problem-solving. They become confident learners ready to embark on the next chapter of their educational journey with enthusiasm and curiosity.
Before and After School (6 - 12 Years) - Fulshear Only
At Centerra Ranch Montessori School, our commitment to education extends beyond the traditional school day with our comprehensive Before and After School Program designed specifically for children aged 6 to 12 years old. Rooted in our philosophy of holistic development, this program provides a nurturing and enriching environment for students before and after their regular school hours.
For those eager to burn off some energy, our outdoor play area offers a safe and supervised space where children can run, jump, and play to their heart's content. From friendly games to imaginative adventures in our playground, there's no shortage of fun to be had. Indoors, we offer a variety of enriching activities designed to stimulate young minds and foster creativity. Whether it's delving into arts and crafts projects, experimenting with science experiments, or participating in group games and challenges, children are encouraged to explore their interests, develop new skills, and build lasting friendships along the way.
In addition to recreational activities, our after-school program also provides valuable academic support to help children excel in their studies. Under the guidance of qualified educators, students receive homework assistance, tutoring, and individualized instruction tailored to their unique learning needs. With access to resources and guidance, children gain the confidence and skills necessary to succeed academically, setting them on the path to future success.
