Hilltop Montessori School

Hilltop is family owned and has been in operation since 1998. Our school is dedicated to the principles of Montessori education – Individual liberty preparation of the environment and committed adults. The classroom is a carefully prepared environment for learning as child-sized tables and chairs greet the children as they enter. At Hilltop your child comes across a Montessori environment specially designed with manipulative “materials for development” that invite a child to engage in learning activities of their own individual choice.
Montessori Principles

Practical Life Learn to perform daily tasks such as developing the independence and sense of responsibility of the child and also enhancing physical coordination. Sensorial Develop the sensory-motor capabilities of the five senses through interaction and comparison i.e. weights and measures. Sensorial education also provides the basis for other areas of development. Language & Phonics Develop language skills in hearing speech reading writing and drama. The phonetic approach using sandpaper letters and the word-building kits takes new reader’s basic matching word recognition and phrase-reading exercises to the point where they can confidently tackle sentences and stories. Mathematics Montessori arithmetic is taught as early as the ages two or three by giving the child objects to hold count and manipulate. This helps him or her learn the fundamentals of simple addition subtraction multiplication and division to ensure a good math foundation before the child enters Kindergarten. Cultural Geography history and science concepts are illustrated by simple experiments charts stories and educational excursions.
