The Harvest Green Montessori School – Our Primary Care Program | Richmond, TX, USA

At HGM, we recognize this as the beginning of control and coordination of mind and body. In the process, children acquire language (s), develop motor, gross, and cognitive skills, copy the social skills of the adults around them and acquire expectations about how the world will treat them when they move on. The Primary classroom offers the young child a highly structured curriculum specially designed for their own needs. A Montessori school has multi-age classrooms. Older students should be able to model appropriate behavior and guide their younger peers, all while making academic advancements of their own. Studies have shown that the Montessori Method provides a solid academic basis as well as exceptional social skills that prepare children well for a good academic year. Students are taught in other areas which include Grace and Courtesy, Practical life, Sensorial, Language, Math, Social studies, and Geography, Art and Music. • The Montessori curriculum allows us to continually challenge each child at his/her own pace. • We highly value our close working relationships with our families. This partnership is fostered through ongoing, personal communication as well as multiple conferences each year. • The multi-age classroom stimulates enthusiasm for learning and inspires independent thinking. • All of our teachers have Montessori certified with extensive experience in the classroom. • We provide a large outdoor, as well as an indoor space, specifically designed to meet the young child\'s need for gross motor development. • Our program includes Montessori curriculum along with regularly scheduled enrichment activities which may include Spanish, Art and yoga. Each taught by teachers that are specifically trained in these disciplines.
