PRIMARY 2

Primary Care for children ages 4–6 in a Montessori environment supports the child’s growing independence, confidence, and sense of responsibility. At this stage, children are developing greater self-awareness, social understanding, and the ability to care for themselves and their community.

Children are encouraged to take an active role in daily routines, such as organizing their work, caring for classroom materials, preparing food, and maintaining their environment. Through consistent expectations and respectful guidance, teachers help children strengthen self-regulation, decision-making, and problem-solving skills.

The prepared environment offers meaningful, hands-on activities that support physical coordination, language development, and social growth. Mixed-age interaction allows younger children to learn by observing older peers, while older children develop leadership, empathy, and cooperation.

Primary care at this level nurtures the whole child—supporting emotional well-being, independence, and social responsibility—while preparing children for continued academic and personal growth within the Montessori community.
