Extracurricular Activities
​
Foundation Montessori offers a music program that helps infants, toddlers, and children develop a deep love of music and the individual ability to express it.
Studies have shown that music awakens and stimulates neural pathways in the brain that are associated with higher forms of intelligence, such as abstract thinking, empathy, mathematics,
and science.
Melodic and rhythmic patterns provide exercise for the brain and help develop memory.
