At Prep Montessori Academy preschool in Garland, we believe the best preschool education prepares children for a rapidly changing world. Our STEAM preschool program – Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math – extends the Montessori preschool curriculum with hands-on experiences that build the problem-solving skills and creative thinking today’s children need.
Preschool children conduct age-appropriate experiments, observe natural phenomena, and learn the scientific method through hands-on investigation. From growing plants to exploring simple chemistry, science comes alive in our preschool classrooms.
We introduce technology as a tool for learning and creativity at our Garland preschool. Children use age-appropriate tech to explore concepts, document discoveries, and solve problems, always balanced with plenty of screen-free Montessori preschool activities.
Building, designing, and problem-solving activities develop engineering thinking at our preschool. Preschool children work with blocks, loose parts, and construction materials to create structures, solve challenges, and learn from both successes and failures.
Art is essential to STEAM at our preschool, not an afterthought. Creative expression, design thinking, and artistic exploration are woven throughout our preschool curriculum. Children paint, sculpt, draw, and create, developing the innovation mindset that drives discovery.
Montessori preschool math materials already make abstract concepts concrete. Our STEAM preschool program extends this with measurement activities, pattern exploration, data collection, and real-world math applications that show preschool children how math is used everywhere.
Beyond daily preschool classroom activities, we bring STEAM to life with special events and experiences that spark wonder and curiosity at our Garland preschool.
We bring the world to our preschool students! Throughout the year, preschool children enjoy visits from professional performers, educators, and experts including:
Magic Shows: Science and wonder combine as preschool children see “magic” and learn the principles behind the tricks.
Storytellers: Professional storytellers bring literature and history to life at our preschool, inspiring a love of stories and language.
