Our Unique Blended Program
Creekside Montessori Overview
Creekside Montessori Plus: STEAM and Elementary School Readiness Skills
At Creekside, we blend the best of Montessori education with innovative STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) integration and essential elementary school readiness skills. Our thoughtfully designed curriculum prepares students for the structured environment of a traditional elementary classroom while preserving the joy of discovery that is at the heart of Montessori education. Children graduate from Creekside not only academically prepared but also confident, adaptable, and ready to thrive in any educational setting.
Our Comprehensive Learning Environment
Our program emphasizes nurturing each child’s natural curiosity and love for learning through hands-on, experiential activities that foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. The Montessori program encourages independence, self-discipline, and a deep understanding of core academic concepts. By integrating STEAM subjects and elementary school skills, we provide students with a solid foundation in essential 21st-century skills such as collaboration, communication, and technology literacy.
Montessori Distinct Learning Areas at Creekside
Creekside’s classroom includes five distinct areas: practical life, sensorial, math, language, and cultural studies, each carefully designed to develop specific skills.
Practical Life
Practical Life Activities develop motor control, coordination, independence, concentration, and a sense of responsibility. Children engage in exercises that teach self-care and care for the environment.
Sensorial Learning
The Sensorial Learning approach stimulates the child’s five senses—taste, touch, smell, sight, and hearing—allowing them to explore and understand the world around them more deeply.
Language Development
Our Language Development curriculum helps children master the intricacies of written and spoken language, building a strong foundation in writing, reading, and communication.
Mathematics Foundation
Using Montessori Mathematics Foundation materials, children develop their innate mathematical understanding through hands-on manipulation, laying the groundwork for arithmetic, algebra, and geometry.
Cultural Studies
Cultural Studies exposes children to diverse cultures, exploring geography, history, nature, and science. Lessons cover how people have adapted to different environments, fostering an understanding of the interconnectedness of all life on Earth.
