What is the CASA Program?
The CASA Program at Aurora Montessori School’s Newmarket Campus is designed for children aged 2.5 to 6 years. Rooted in the Montessori philosophy, our program fosters independence, creativity, and a love for learning through hands-on exploration and individualized education.
At this critical stage of development, children absorb knowledge effortlessly when given the freedom to explore in a structured environment. Our experienced Montessori educators provide guidance, ensuring that every child grows at their own pace.
A Child-Centered Learning Approach
The CASA classroom is arranged into specialized learning areas where children transition between activities at their own rhythm. Each lesson builds on curiosity and comprehension, fostering self-confidence and problem-solving skills.
- Hands-on learning with self-correcting Montessori materials
- Teacher-guided & independent exploration
- Small group instruction & personalized support
- Development of critical thinking & practical life skills
By working independently and collaboratively, children develop concentration, coordination, and confidence—essential foundations for lifelong success.
