Montessori for Your 4 Year Old

Your 4-year-old is entering a magical stage of skill-building, imagination, and growing independence.

At this age, the sensorial foundations laid in toddlerhood start to blossom into more deliberate learning. You'll see curiosity about letters, numbers, science experiments, and bigger "why" questions about the world around them.

Montessori education nurtures this beautiful transition, helping your child strengthen academic foundations while preserving their love of wonder, movement, and real-world discovery.

Big Curiosity.

Big Skills.

Your 4-year-old is overflowing with imagination and a growing sense of confidence.

  • A patient guide who respects their need to try, repeat, and master

Montessori Homeschool Support for Your 4-Year-Old

At four, your child is building both skill and confidence — and you can guide that growth without overwhelm. You don’t need a classroom or a giant stash of materials. You need a clear plan, purposeful tools, and the reassurance that you’re covering it all.

Our Foundations of Primary course is the perfect fit — a step-by-step homeschool curriculum for parents who want the confidence of knowing exactly what to teach and when. It blends practical life, sensorial, and early academic lessons into a flexible rhythm you can adapt to your family’s needs. In this course, you’ll learn how to:

  • Support early reading and writing with phonetic, hands-on activities

  • Introduce math concepts like patterns, quantities, and number symbols through play and exploration

  • Spark curiosity in science and geography with real-world, tactile lessons
