The Montessori Curriculum

A Thoughtful Foundation for Your Child’s Early Years

At Tender Tree Montessori, our curriculum is intentionally designed to support your child’s growth, confidence, and love of learning. Grounded in Montessori philosophy and guided by Alberta’s FLIGHT: Play, Participation, and Possibilities framework, our approach honors how young children naturally learn—through exploration, meaningful work, and supportive relationships.

Our Educational Approach

We believe children learn best in environments that are calm, respectful, and thoughtfully prepared. Our Montessori-inspired curriculum encourages your child to move at their own pace, follow their interests, and develop independence through hands-on learning experiences.

 

By integrating Alberta’s FLIGHT framework, we ensure our curriculum remains developmentally appropriate, play-based, and responsive to each child’s unique strengths, culture, and stage of development.

What Montessori Looks Like for Your Child

In our classrooms, your child is supported to:

Build independence and confidence through purposeful daily routines

Develop concentration, coordination, and problem-solving skills

Explore language, early literacy, and communication naturally

Strengthen social skills through respectful peer interactions

Engage in hands-on learning that supports curiosity and creativity

Rather than focusing on worksheets or rigid outcomes, Montessori learning emphasizes process over performance, allowing your child to develop a strong internal motivation to learn.

Early Childhood Education

Learning Through Daily Experiences

Your child’s learning is woven naturally into the day through:

Practical life activities that support independence

Sensory exploration that builds understanding of the world

Language-rich environments that support communication

Early math and reasoning experiences using concrete materials

Creative expression through art, music, movement, and nature-based play

Each experience is carefully planned to meet your child where they are while gently supporting their next stage of growth.
