About Our Primary Program

Primavera Montessori at the Khabele School

“Help Me to Help Myself!” —the Primary child’s universal motto.

Our Primary Montessori Program at Primavera is an “aid to life” perspective. It is designed with the knowledge that children entering this stage of development are increasingly capable people, eager for new and broader learning opportunities and social explorations.

The young child’s Absorbent Mind has now reached a conscious state of being. At no other time in life is learning so effortless, as within this special time of development, quite naturally allowing the child to incarnate his life experience into the very fabric of his being! We believe that every child deserves to have an exceptionally planned and well prepared learning environment, precisely intended to aid in the Primary child’s self-construction. We follow these promptings with great reverence and regard for individual growth.

The role of the Primary teacher is to prepare the learning environment and to act as a personal guide to each and every student: to recognize readiness, to follow personal interests, and to illuminate the way on the child’s journey through active discovery. The Montessori Guide is first an observer, then a facilitator, guiding the child toward ever-expanding concepts of interest and ability.
