Primary Classroom (3 through 6 year olds)

A Beautiful Beginning

Where children discover the joy of learning, the peace of purposeful work, and the love of God in everyday life.

LEARN
Building the Foundation for a Lifetime of Learning

In the Primary classroom, children learn by doing. The Montessori materials invite movement, touch, and exploration — nurturing concentration, coordination, and curiosity.

Highlights
Early reading and phonics foundations
Counting, number sense, and problem-solving
Sensorial work that develops focus and fine motor skills
Practical life activities that build confidence and independence

Faith
Even the smallest lessons reflect spiritual growth — children learn that care, order, and gratitude are forms of love in action.

GROW
Learning with Heart and Faith

Faith is woven into every day at Oak Arbor. Each morning begins with worship, prayer, and reflection on God’s Word.

Through simple Bible stories and songs, children discover the joy of kindness, forgiveness, and gratitude. These moments gently shape their understanding of God’s love and their role in the world around them.

Daily worship and short lessons from Scripture
Moments of gratitude and reflection
Building self-control, empathy, and grace

BELONG
A Caring Community Where Every Child Is Known

The Primary classroom is more than a place to learn — it’s a community where each child is seen, valued, and supported.

Multi-age groupings allow younger children to learn from older peers and older students to grow as role models.
Teachers guide with warmth and respect, helping each child develop confidence, courtesy, and a sense of belonging.

Small class size and individualized attention
Calm, respectful environment
Strong teacher-child relationships

We’d love to welcome you for a tour of our Primary classroom and show you how Montessori and faith work hand in hand to nurture every child.

“The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For that is the time when man’s intelligence itself, his greatest implement, is being formed.”—Dr. Maria Montessori
