Elite Minds Montessori to Open Preschool in Carroll Gardens

Elite Minds Montessori completed construction on its new preschool in January, and is currently accepting applications for the 2018-2019 school year. The preschool’s curriculum will be dual-language, taught in French and English.

“Our school is strictly Montessori, green—as in environmentally aware (no bags, no paper)—and bi-lingual in French and English, with a strong arts curriculum,” says Natania Cortijo, educational director.

The preschool curriculum will focus on the five areas of Montessori learning: practical life skills, sensory activities, mathematics, literacy, and cultural studies. Students will learn the alphabet, numbers, days of the week, colors, weather, and more in English and French, and the afternoon will include French songs and a French Artist study. Between the uninterrupted learning sessions, students will play outside in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
