East Gate Montessori School

East Gate Motnessori School opened in September, 2013. EGMS is a member of the American Montessori Society (AMS) and accredited through COGNIA. All of our lead teachers are trained and certified by the AMS. EGMS will continue to operate with low student to teacher ratios so all of our students may receive the attention and care they deserve!

We offer programs for children, 8 weeks to six years of age. Our infant program ranges from 8 weeks - 12 months. The younger toddler program is for children, 13 months to 18 months. The older toddler Program is for children, 18 months to 3 years of age. The Primary classrooms are designed for children, three through six years of age.

At East Gate Montessori School, our curriculum is designed to:

-Allow students to work at their own pace, with the teacher introducing new materials only as current materials are mastered, to ensure success rather than frustration.
-Put emphasis on the process rather than the product of learning.
-Promote mastery of self and environment, self-discipline, and social competence.
-Explore math, language, geography, botany & science, social studies, art and music, involving children in a series of sequential, manipulative, and sensorial activities that lead them from concrete to abstract learning.

The Montessori classroom aids in the development of concentration, coordination, order and independence. Children learn self-confidence and refine their motor skills. Lessons include care of self and care of the environment.
