Montessori Foundations (3+ Years) at Montessori School of Salt Lake City
A Dynamic Montessori Learning Environment for Growth and Exploration
At
Montessori School of Salt Lake City, our
Montessori Foundations program is designed for
children 3 years and older, building upon the independence, curiosity, and early skills developed in the
Early Explorers
stage. This
multi-age classroom provides a
self-paced, hands-on learning experience, where children gain confidence, social skills, and academic readiness in an engaging and supportive setting.
A Montessori Classroom Designed for Self-Discovery
In our Montessori Foundations program, children move beyond basic exploration and begin engaging in
more structured learning experiences. Our classroom fosters
critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration, allowing each child to
develop at their own pace with the support of experienced
Montessori-certified teachers.
What Makes Our Montessori Foundations Program Special?
π Multi-Age, Self-Paced Learning
One of the core aspects of Montessori education is its multi-age classroom, where children learn from and support one another. This structure:
- Encourages peer mentorship—older students help younger ones, reinforcing their own knowledge
- Allows each child to progress at their own pace without feeling pressured
- Creates a cooperative and respectful learning environment
π’ Expanded Practical Life, Sensorial, Language & Math
Our curriculum includes a balance of hands-on learning and guided instruction across key Montessori areas:
- Practical Life Skills – Strengthening independence, coordination, and daily routines
- Sensorial Exploration – Developing problem-solving skills through touch, sight, and sound-based activities
- Language Development – Strengthening vocabulary, phonetics, and early reading skills
- Math Foundations – Introducing numbers, patterns, and simple arithmetic through hands-on materials

confidence and independence
