Primary Program (ages 3-5)

Marin Horizon's Primary Program is designed to nurture the cherished stage of early childhood.

 

Our young students are encouraged to explore the world at their own pace through an array of engaging activities, purposefully designed to spark interest, and develop language, gross, and fine motor skills, as well as independence.

Central to our program is a sense of community and belonging that creates a safe space for children to learn and grow. By fostering social awareness, our young learners master foundational skills such as listening, collaboration, turn-taking, emotion recognition, and conflict resolution. They are guided in becoming responsible members of the community through activities that promote following directions, asking for permission, and participating in communal responsibilities.

As Primary students graduate to Kindergarten and the Lower School program at Marin Horizon, they carry with them a strong academic foundation and a deep curiosity about and love of learning.

Our student to teacher ratio is 6:1.
