Abbotsford Montessori's curriculum focuses on six areas
• Practical life — Children learn how to tie their shoes and put on their coats, prepare their own snacks and drinks, go to the bathroom without help, and clean up after themselves if they spill something.
• Sensory awareness education — Exercises make sure children use all five senses to learn. For example, a child studying about fall gathers leaves and feels how brittle they are.
• Language arts — Children are encouraged to express themselves verbally and are taught to trace and recognize letters as a precursor to learning reading, spelling, grammar, and handwriting skills.
• Mathematics and geometry — Children learn about numbers through hands-on learning using concrete materials, such as the golden beads that represent the hierarchy of the decimal system, for example.
• Cultural subjects — Children learn about other countries (geography), animals (zoology), time, history, music, movement, science, and art.
• Socialization — Children learn about relationships and cooperative activities through parties, special events like Mothers Day Tea and the Fathers Day Woodwork Project.
