It provides preparation for grade school at the preschool level. The program is designed for children aged 3 to 5 years and meets 2,3, or 5 days a week for either a half day or full day. The Children's House classroom environment allows for the balance of structure and flexibility that allows for the natural development of each child's physical, emotional and cognitive skills. The day is designed to allow children the freedom to explore the prepared classroom environment and complete work in each of the main areas of learning: Mathematics, Practical Life, Language Arts, Sensorial and Culture. Concepts are introduced by the teacher in individual, small group, and whole group lessons. Children are allowed uninterrupted blocks of time to explore new concepts through the hands of use of self-correcting materials which promote independence. Teachers are always observing to see when children are ready for new concepts and curriculum is designed for each individual child. 260623 315972 Stepping Stones The Stepping Stones program is for children 18 months to 36 months old. The toddler program appropriately accommodates the very young childs sensitive period for language by offering creative and intriguing concepts to expand his/her growing vocabulary. Joining conversations, listening to stories, classifying objects and learning songs and poems all nurture their budding language skills. To help smooth their initial social interactions, the toddlers learn to use words for feelings they experience in themselves and others. Many of the activities in the toddler program highlight the self-help skills that lead to independence. Since this is an age of very strong imitation, the teacher constantly model appropriate social skills, good manners, and consideration of others. The Stepping Stones classroom is set up to foster an environment of freedom and explorations. 118504 143624 Kindergarten The full Day Kindergarten program at NSMS provides a strong foundation for success in primary school education. This advance education is based upon the Montessori approach which fosters authentic learning based on the childs individual needs and interests rather than the needs and interest of the entire group. A Montessori education is extremely well-rounded; combining a progressively challenging curriculum incorporating Math, Science, Technology, Language, Cultural Studies and Practical Life Skills to develop a deeper understanding of academic subjects while simultaneous focusing on physical, emotional and character developments. 35800 43521 1078292 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 54 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false true true true true true false false true true true true true true true false false NY X Tina Arora 6316898273 218 Christian Avenue Stony Brook NY 11790 Jennifer Fuggini Head of School 40.00 0.00 X X 118450 0 0 Stephanie Alwais President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Suja Gurunathan Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dan Green TreasurerRecord 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Luisiana Grullon Recording Sec. 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Melissa LaCarrubba Chair 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Erin Orcel Cl.
