The Practical Life materials enable each child to do real and meaningful work, according to their own ability. We spoon beans, pour water, use tongs, string beads, and scrub tables. An older child can futher refine their fine motor skills as they use tweezers, learns to tie, and shows younger children works they have already mastered.
The Practical Life area helps prepare the child for future academic work by allowing them to develop order, concentration, co-ordination and independence.

The Sensorial area serves as an introduction to mathematics, language, and vocabulary. It includes materials that isolate the ten specific senses described by Maria Montessori: visual, chromatic, tactile, auditory, baric, thermic, stereognostic, kinesthetic, olfactory,and gustatory. Through repetition of the exercises, the child learns to compare, classify, and draw conclusions about the specific sensory stimuli being explored.
The sound cylinders, the pink tower, the color wheel, the geometric solids, and the trinomial cube are a few favorites in this area.
