The Studio at Mariella Montessori is an Arts-Integrated Montessori Program for children ages 3-5 years old. AIM takes place in the Studio's prepared Montessori environment which includes Art, Music, Practical Life, Psycho-Sensory-Motor development, Language, and Math areas. This class is formatted with an uninterrupted independent work cycle, where children receive individualized lessons and choose from the classroom areas. Through repetition and self-directed exploration, children build concentration, coordination, and confidence. For full day children, the afternoon also includes small or whole-group creative experiences inspired by art, nature, literature, and the elements of art, and concludes with studio care and a reflective circle with music and movement. AIM offers a gentle yet purposeful rhythm that nurtures independence, joyful learning and development.
