A Place Where Curiosity
Blossoms and Independence Grows
Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten. At Bay Farm’s Children’s House, children ages 3 to 6 discover a joyful learning environment where curiosity leads the way. Here, young learners develop the foundational skills, confidence, and social awareness that set the stage for success, both in school and in life
Our thoughtfully prepared classrooms encourage children to explore, create, and collaborate through hands-on activities that build independence and a love of learning.
Your Child’s Experience
Children’s House students engage with a rich Montessori curriculum designed to nurture the whole child. Our learning areas include:
-
Practical Life: Developing everyday skills like pouring, buttoning, and caring for their environment to build independence and concentration.
-
Sensorial: Exploring the senses through specially designed materials that sharpen observation and classification skills.
-
Language: Building vocabulary, reading readiness, and storytelling through engaging activities and peer interaction.
-
Mathematics: Discovering numbers, patterns, and basic operations through tactile materials and real-world examples.
-
Cultural Studies: Introducing geography, science, and the arts to expand understanding of the world and foster empathy.
Every activity is designed to meet children where they are, allowing them to progress naturally and confidently.
Growing Socially and Emotionally
Children’s House is also a vibrant community where children learn to work and play together respectfully. Through group activities, conflict resolution, and daily routines, they develop important social skills, including:
-
Cooperation and sharing
-
Self-regulation and patience
-
Empathy and kindness
-
Responsibility and independence
These social-emotional skills are woven seamlessly into everyday life, helping children build strong relationships and a positive sense of self.

The Benefit of a Mixed-Age Classroom
Younger children benefit from observing and learning from their older peers, while older children develop leadership skills by teaching their younger peers and reinforcing their own learning. The mixed-age classroom fosters a strong sense of community and respect among Bay Farm students and allows each child to learn and progress at their own pace, regardless of age.
