Each Friday, the school is filled with music, cheer and joy. Our school is a certified Music Together program and the music program is included in the tuition.

Music Together Program ~ Primary Communities Through the Music Together curriculum the children learn to move rhythmically and sing, while acquiring listening and improvisation skills through playful, developmentally appropriate activities. The children enjoy a carefully prepared and balanced mix of songs, rhythmic rhymes, tonal and rhythm patterns, and instrumental play-alongs in a wide variety of tonalities, meters, and musical styles. The children gain a repertoire of up to 50 songs a year, along with the rich music experience necessary for achieving Basic Music Competence.

Rhythm Kids ~ Elementary Community This program prepares the children for music literacy. Fun Musical exercises help the child gain a better understanding of how rhythm and tonalities work in music. The children are also guided through movement "games" that are fun and help further translate the beat of the music into their bodies. As a community, the children explore "ensemble" and "solo" work with the different instruments. All the exercises and props that are used are intended to give the child the tools to become music makers, not just music imitators.

The children enjoy our weekly interactive hands-on Spanish classes with games, songs, dance, and story time. The program is taught by a native speaker and included in the tuition.

Children have a natural gift for learning foreign languages. Introducing them to a second or third language in the early years allows them to retain this language learning ability throughout their life while helping to develop confidence and self-esteem.

The Spanish language is introduced in a fun, natural and conversational way. Each child is on a different level, depending on their own pace, interest and comfort with the language, aptitude, and the group dynamics. The children do not translate. They learn vocabulary and conversational skills guided by their own curiosity and through the use on interesting visuals and materials such as puppets, toys, posters, flash cards, story books, songs, art, cultural associations, games, and anything that the imagination supplies.

There is sufficient scientific evidence that introducing foreign languages at an early age expands their world views and horizons, and enhances and expands children’s cognitive development , neuroplasticity, memory and comprehension, speech and sensory perception, self confidence, communication, reading skills and cultural awareness.

The Bluebonnet Montessori's Mandarin program is taught by a native speaker and included in the tuition. It focuses on building a solid foundation for new students as well as students that already have had exposure to the language. We believe that learning Mandarin should be a fun experience for children. Since Mandarin is a character-based language, we integrated drawing, flash cards, dancing, singing, role playing, drawing, games, arts and crafts and other visual learning aids to get the children interested and enthused to learn the language and discover more about the Chinese culture behind it.

Our Yoga and Meditation Program is offered at a fee separate from the tuition and paid directly to our Yoga Teacher. Our Montessori based yoga program helps the child develop real life skills in mindfulness, meditation, and body awareness.

The children enjoy learning new yoga poses, following different guided meditations each week! They learn to relax, ground, center and connect with their own inner wisdom. Yoga offers a myriad of benefits for young children:
• Relaxation and mindfulness ~ breathing and guided meditation exercises help children calm their active minds and develop lifelong skills for managing their stress.
• Self-regulation ~ learning to be fully present in the moment and relaxing into a peaceful state of mind leads to superior emotional awareness.
• Self-confidence ~ perfecting a yoga pose requires immense effort, and self-discipline and is a wonderful way of personal empowerment and self-trust.
• Concentration and memory retention ~ memorizing various yoga poses enhances the child’s concentration and focus and leads to expanded attention span in their academic studies.
• Balance and body awareness ~ perfecting yoga poses improves the child’s balance and flexibility and enhances their body awareness.

The weekly art lessons and projects are offered at a fee separate from the tuition and paid directly to our Art Teacher. Our Art classes inspire creativity, self-expression, and sensory exploration. The children enjoy experimenting freely with various art materials, techniques and mediums. The carefully prepared hands-on art activities allow the kids to learn about composition, color and light, painting techniques, and creative picture making.

The focus is on the process rather than the product, encouraging children to explore colors, color wheel, shapes, patterns and textures at their own pace. This approach nurtures individuality, fosters confidence, and enhances problem-solving abilities and supports:

• Cognitive Development - critical thinking, and memory retention are enhanced

• Hand-Eye Coordination and Fine Motor Skills - learning to use various art tools brushes, crayons, pencils.

• Math Skills - children are introduced to size, shape, gradation, perspective, 3D perception

• Emotional development - children learn a lot about themselves, their feelings and how to express various emotions through their art.
