Preschool Room
Our Preschool Room has a 3-hour Montessori learning session daily to
teach practical life, language, sensorial, music, mathematic, geographic and scientific skills. The
preschool teachers offer a well-rounded curriculum and love to read,
sing, and do sign language with the preschoolers as they teach (basic Spanish, colors, shapes,
letters, numbers,
etc). The teachers also provide time for making art projects, developing small motor skills (like
writing, cutting, matching, playing musical instruments, etc.) as well as for developing large motor skills
like dancing, sports, and other exercise. Manners like please, thank you or taking turns are shown and encouraged.
Occasional computer lessons are for the older preschoolers to help improve eye-hand coordination. A
music teacher comes weekly to teach the preschoolers songs for the bi-annual concerts where they get to
perform for their family in the Spring and Winter.
The following are some testimonials from parents when asked about what makes them feel good about our
Preschool program at Rainbow Montessori:
- "The Spanish vocabulary my daughter is learning, the reading skills my
daughter has gained and the basic addition/subtraction she has learned.
We are very pleased with our daughter's progress at Rainbow!" - Tony and
Joyce H. November 2009
- "My daughter (4 yrs old) just started a month ago. She loves the preschool staff especially
the head teacher Miss Theresa. My daughter comes home with an artwork and a few papers that
she herself wrote like her name, numbers, letter-case matching, and simple words containing a
different vowel sound each day. Just yesterday she was attempting to read me a book about
fruit and was phonetically sounding each letter because she was so excited to show me what she
learns at school. - Natasha H. October 2009
- "Manners, eating habits, and cleanliness...I can see a lot of
improvement in my child's behavior and manners...Thank you so much Rainbow
Montessori for making my child's life better." - Lalitha B. November
