Transition Program
The founders of Sugar Creek Montessori school were one of the first in the Houston area to incorporate a “Transition” program to meet the unique developmental and academic needs of 2-3 year olds. This program offers children a natural environment to learn and progress at their own pace. Sugar Creek Montessori believes that the 2+ to 3+ age groups have unique needs and children of this age would ideally not be combined with Toddler or Pre-primary aged children. Sugar Creek Montessori uses a holistic approach that develops a child’s natural desire to learn and discover an innate joy for learning. The Montessori approach enhances children’s independence, self-confidence and prepares them for life. The Transition curriculum aims to provide developmentally appropriate Montessori materials and co-curricular activities in an organized, prepared and well resourced environment.
