Our Programs

Montessori Children's House in Horsham and Blue Bell offers a variety of programs for families with children toddler age through Kindergarten. Montessori programs allow children to learn naturally through their experiences in a specially-prepared environment, centered around the five curriculum areas of Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Math and Cultural. Enrichment activities available to our children include music and art activities, computers, introduction to French, gym classes, yoga and educational field trips.

Montessori Prep is offered for children ages 18 months through three years. In our Prep program, toddlers are introduced to the initial Montessori concepts and materials that stimulate their natural desire to learn at an early age. Toddlers move between a combination of structured learning and free choice activities which are geared to enhance the development of independence and self-help skills.

  Children in the Prep program may 

  also chose to attend for

  afternoons as well. This Prep Plus  

  afternoon program includes

  lunchtime, nap and supervised

  play. Schedules for two, three or

  five afternoons may be arranged

  with the school administrator.

Montessori Primary is offered for children ages three through six. Children explore language, geography, math, science, sensory awareness and practical skills of everyday living. Teachers observe and direct children through guided self-explorations.

Primary children have the option of scheduling an afternoon enrichment program. In the afternoon, the primary-age children continue to practice letter writing, number recognition and letter sound recognition. Outdoor play, art, nature, cooking and science activities provide a stimulating "plus" program.

Kindergarten is offered for children ages five and six. Mornings are spent in the mixed-age classrooms, while afternoons are in a specially-designed extended day Kindergarten class.

Kindergarten students work with advanced Montessori materials and further their skills in reading, creative writing, math, science and geography.

The Kindergarten program is licensed by the Department of Education, and provides excellent preparation for the first grade. Transportation is available for kindergarten children though the public school districts.

Supplemental Care is also available for all Montessori students, both before school (6:30am at Horsham, 7:00am at Blue Bell - 9am) and after school care (3pm - 6pm), to meet the needs of working families. The children are involved in music & movement, outside play, computers and table games. They also enjoy story time and art projects.

All NEW Camp Discovery! The word summer triggers a sense of freedom in children, a chance to have fun and discover in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Our mission at Camp Discovery is to enrich the physical and social life of each camper in an environment consistent with Montessori principles. We will inspire, challenge and excite campers as they explore new adventures and develop lasting friendships.

Explorers (18 months-3 years): The Explorers will enjoy a wide variety of activities which build confidence and encourage cooperative play. Our busy day is filled with arts and crafts, water play, music, exercise, games and more with rest time in between.

Adventurers (3-6 years): Camp Discovery trained Montessori teachers and counselors guide the Adventurers to choose from a well-rounded selection of camp activities, including sports and games, arts and crafts, music, exercise, gardening, water play, performing arts and cooking. Throughout the summer, the children will have the opportunity to spend time exploring the Montessori environment, working with materials appropriate for their age and skill level.

Infant care provided by Play & Learn for siblings is available on site for Blue Bell families and in Hatboro for Horsham families.
