Programs
Casa de Niños
Children choose their work from among the self-correcting materials displayed on open shelves. Over a period of time, the children develop into a "normalized community," working with high concentration and few interruptions. Normalization is the process whereby a child moves from being undisciplined to self-disciplined, from disordered to ordered, from distracted to focused, through work in the environment.
The process occurs through repeated work with materials that captivate the child's attention. For some children this inner change may take place quite suddenly, leading to deep concentration.
In Montessori, academic competency is a means to an end, and the manipulative are viewed as "materials for development."
In the classroom, each child follows a natural progression through four categories of learning.
The Practical Life materials involve simple tasks relating to the care and maintenance of each child's environment. They give each child a sense of organization and concentration, as well as an appreciation of a completed cycle of activity.
The Sensorial materials help each child organize, categorize and refine the perceptions of his senses, e.g., colors, sounds, geometric shapes, and relative sizes.
The Language materials prepare each child for writing and reading. Children are made aware of phonetics, vocabulary and the functions of words. They also explore reading comprehension and listening comprehension to develop deep understandings of communication.
The Mathematics materials get each child is exposed to concrete materials that introduce counting and the association of numbers with quantities. The program then progresses to more abstract concepts in preparation for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Navarre Montessori Academy's goal is to develop patterns of concentration and thoroughness in early childhood in order to produce a competent and confident learner in later years.

Kindergarten & Elementary
This multi-age program ranges from 1st to 6th Grade.
The environment presented in Navarre Montessori Academy for the elementary program helps build a strong mind, as well as good character, responsibility, and respect toward others while instilling in the child the joy and freedom of learning. The learning process stimulates the child’s mind and creates order within it. This is achieved by letting the child master exercises concretely and then build toward the abstract concept of ideas and exercises.
The teacher’s role is to acknowledge the child’s interest and develop it. For this purpose, the teacher is the link between the child and the material. Through repetitive use of the material, the child achieves perfection in its use and therefore reaches the goals for which it was designed. Thus, the child acquires independence, self-control, accuracy, mental order, enrichment of imagination, and love for work.
In the classroom, each child follows a natural progression through four categories of learning.
The Practical Life includes life skills to develop independence, coordination, concentration, self-regulation, self-awareness, and confidence.
The Sensorial activities allows the child refine each of their senses, Children will learn to notice details like color, shape, texture, smell. sound, weight and temperature.
The Language is based on phonetic awareness. Children work through specific hands-on and tactile language materials such as the sandpaper letters to the movable alphabet. The spoken languages the foundation for writing and then reading.
The Mathematics is developed with the use of concrete learning materials. We use hands-on material to provide the child with a simple and clear understanding of the mathematical concepts being taught. Math activities includes stacking and nesting cubes, number block and puzzles, sorting and counting materials.
Our goal at Navarre Montessori Academy is to see each and every child thrive and grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in this environment.

Extended Care
Navarre Montessori Academy offers extended care for working families. This nurturing and enriching program includes quality afternoon care from 12:30 pm until 3:30 pm.
Navarre Montessori Academy’s extended care program combines many of the practical life experiences found in our morning Montessori classrooms. Here the children enjoy rest time, outdoor play, games, story time, puzzles, creative and imaginary play, and enriching group interactions.
While not all the extended care materials are typical of a Montessori classroom, the program is consistent with Montessori principles. Freedom of choice in activities is bounded by the responsibility to make positive, healthy, and safe choices individually and as a group. Children bring their afternoon snacks.
At Navarre Montessori Academy, starting at the age of 3 children are ready to join the enrichment programs that the extended care offers.

Designed to add knowledge and skills
The enrichment program is a supplementary educational program designed to enhance students' academic experience and challenge them academically. It is not a replacement for the main curriculum, but rather an addition to it.
