Oak and Acorn Montessori operates a mixed-age Montessori classroom serving young children with a nature-based, hands-on curriculum and small group community.
Oak and Acorn Montessori runs a mixed-age primary classroom that groups children approximately 2.5 to 6 years old. The program emphasizes hands-on Montessori materials, multi-age social learning, and regular outdoor time as part of the daily routine.
The program follows Montessori principles, with child-led exploration, individualized lessons, and an emphasis on practical life and sensory activities. Teachers observe children’s interests and offer guidance and materials to support independence, academic foundations, and social-emotional development.
Outdoor exploration is integrated into the day as an extension of the classroom; children spend at least an hour outside daily (weather permitting) for free play, nature study, gardening, and seasonal projects. The daily schedule balances uninterrupted work cycles, group gatherings, meals, rest or quiet time, and continued exploration.
Lead guides include educators with Montessori training and classroom experience. The program emphasizes small class sizes, family involvement, and community traditions tied to seasonal and cultural celebrations.
Introduces children to the Montessori classroom routines and practical life activities (pouring, sorting, self-care) with hands-on sensory work to build coordination, concentration, and early independence.
Focuses on deepening early language, math, fine motor skills and social development through storytelling, hands-on materials, guided lessons, and practice in grace and courtesy.
Supports older children in leadership roles and more abstract work, including extended self-directed projects and foundations in reading and math to prepare for the next stage of schooling.
