Pre-Primary

FMA’s Pre-Primary Program’s main objective is to guide the children in developing independence, coordination, concentration, and order in a loving environment.  In the Pre-Primary classrooms, children explore using their senses in a learning atmosphere that is stimulating and rewarding.

FMA's main goal is to provide the children with a
nurturing environment where they can explore their interests as well as discover new learning opportunities.

• Introduce and cultivate language using a vast vocabulary on a daily basis which is based on monthly units of study.
• Prepare children for future independence separate from their parents and caregiver.  This includes washing hands, putting on a coat, and toilet training when the time is applicable.
• To develop strong gross motor skills when exploring the classroom environment.
• To encourage and strengthen fine motor skills while drawing, transferring, and manipulating objects.
• Introduce toddlers to a social setting to develop appropriate social behaviors, such as sharing and respect for other children as well as respect for their learning environment.

Our Pre-Primary Program incorporates the fundamentals of Montessori learning with various specials classes throughout the day.  The Pri-Primary class enjoys Music, Spanish, and Garden, providing them with a complete, and well-rounded academic education.

 The Pre-Primary Program is for children eighteen months through three years of age.
