Social Studies Classes 

Preschool- and kindergarten-aged children are naturally curious individuals with an innate love for learning. Dr. Maria Montessori understood this concept, and spent her life developing a comprehensive curriculum designed to help children thrive in academia. Part of this curriculum involves a strong focus on social studies, exposing children to the different people, places, and belief systems around the world.

At Norbeck Montessori, we are committed to helping your child learn social studies in a way that’s fun and easy to understand. Using the time-tested Montessori curriculum, our team will help prepare your child for lifelong academic success.

Rockville Social Studies Classes for Preschool & Kindergarten Students

Social studies focus on social science and the humanities, including history and geography. These concepts can be quite challenging for small children to understand as they are forced to think outside themselves and conceptualize the reality of our large and varied world. Our team helps present social studies in a way that is easily digestible and understandable by breaking down these concepts into two main parts:

    • norbeck iconGeography: Our skilled educators introduce students first to the larger concept of the world, then guide them through more detailed concepts, such as land and water formations, individual cultures, continental maps, capitals, flags, and more.
    • norbeck iconHistory: The passage of time can be an incredibly difficult idea for young children to grasp. Norbeck Montessori takes time to break this concept down into easily understandable materials, such as months, days, and hours. From there, we teach students how to tell time and apply these concepts to the broader context of history.

    What Makes Social Studies at Norbeck Montessori Different Than Other Schools?

    Learning in a Montessori school is inherently different than at other preschools. When you enroll your child at Norbeck Montessori, you’ll be able to tell the difference right away through the following distinguishing features:

        • norbeck iconOur Staff: Not only do our teachers hold the highest educational qualifications, but our educators have all been with our school for years with very little turnover at our institution.

        • norbeck iconOur Values: We are family-owned and -operated, and each of our programs is backed by the long-standing values of Montessori’s time-honored curricula and focus on the whole child.

        Our instructors carefully observe the individual needs and interests of each child, using this information to develop an individualized learning plan that fosters real learning and retention. We don’t lecture children: We guide them into real learning through our personalized approach.

          What Parents Say

          We believe that clear communication with parents is essential to the child‘s wellbeing. It is particularly important during the early preschool years when children reach and surpass many developmental milestones. Naturally, we work diligently to help each of the children to be best taken care of.  That is the reason why the parents give us  best reviews. Here are a few of them.

          My son attended Norbeck Montessori for 2.5 years. He started in Ms. Nita's toddler class, then had Ms. Laurie for two years. The school and all the staff are amazing. They did a great job in preparing my son for school. His kindergarten teacher even commented on how much he knew at the start of the year.

          We love Norbeck Montessori. Both of our children went to Norbeck Montessori starting in the 2 year old class and then graduating from the kindergarten class. Norbeck really helped them thrive academically, develop emotionally and grow socially. We’re so glad we kept both children there all the way till kindergarten. They graduated from Norbeck as confident and emotionally strong with a strong academic foundation in math, reading and writing with enthusiasm and curiosity for art, creativity, music, science and geography. It was a very positive environment with highly experienced teachers focusing on the overall development of the children. The head of the school, Melissa Matthews, does an outstanding job managing the school and the teachers ensure that the kids are not just on par with but are also excelling beyond expectations in several elements. Discipline and kindness towards others are strongly encouraged and the children really have a lot of fun while learning. We highly recommend this school and so glad that our family had the Norbeck experience.

          My children have been at Norbeck for 5 years and our experience has been nothing but amazing. They are treated and cared for with love and respect. They enjoy going to school every day and have learned how to be independent children both in the classroom and in every day life. They have grown to be upstanding and courteous young ladies

          This place is amazing! When we were looking for a daycare or preschool where to send our 3 year old back then, we did some research and went to different places and realize this was the only one where you could see the kids and the teachers happy and having a great time (remember that's the environment you want your kids to grow in). So we decided for Norbeck and that was the best decision ever! Our son had the best experience during his 4 years there. We even kept him in the Kindergarten program (AMAZING). He learned so much and grew emotionally and socially as well. Great foundation and such a loving atmosphere for the kids. I could not recommend a better place. And BTW did I said he learned reading by 4 years and has started 1st grade knowing addition, subtraction and multiplication? Yep that's how great this place is 🙂

          Norbeck Montessori has been the most amazing experience for us! Our daughter has been there for over a year and absolutely loves it. The teachers are amazing and make you and your child feel welcome, nurtured and loved! And, the lessons they do on a daily basis are so fun and educational at the same time. Definitely recommend to any parents looking for a positive and warm environment for their kids, and be prepared to be part of a small and loving family!

          What would I have done without Norbeck? This is my daughter's second year and every day I am more and more amazed about how much she is learning. She is only 4 years old and she is able to read, write and count to 100. The activities that the school coordinates through the year nurtures a sense of community/family, events include Halloween parade, Thanksgiving feast, Christmas song festival and much more! She loves her school, teachers and friends. I highly recommend this school.
