March Monthly Recap

Exploring the Solar System – March Recap at Happy Tots Montessori

At Happy Tots Montessori, March was an exciting month filled with curiosity, wonder, and out-of-this-world learning as we explored the solar system!

Throughout the month, our young learners were introduced to the planets, stars, the sun, and the moon through hands-on, Montessori-aligned activities that sparked imagination and deepened understanding. This special solar system unit gave the children the opportunity to discover the wonders of space while strengthening their early STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) skills.

What We Explored:

  •    The Planets: Using visual aids, 3D models, and planet songs, the children learned the names and order of the eight planets in our solar system.

    •    The Sun and Moon: We explored how the sun gives us light and warmth, and how the moon changes shape throughout the month.

    •    Space Art and Crafts: The kids loved creating their own galaxies using paint, glitter, and recycled materials. These activities allowed them to express their creativity while learning important space concepts.

    •    Montessori Materials: Through sorting cards, matching games, and tactile learning, the children explored the solar system at their own pace, encouraging independence and inquiry.

Why It Matters:

At Happy Tots Montessori, we believe in nurturing children’s natural curiosity. By introducing astronomy for preschoolers, we lay the foundation for critical thinking, problem-solving, and a lifelong love of learning. The solar system unit was not only educational but also a wonderful way to foster awe and appreciation for the world—and universe—around us.

Thank you to our amazing families for your continued support. We can’t wait to see what discoveries April brings!

With gratitude,

The Happy Tots Montessori Team
