A program for Preschool & Kindergarten

Preschool & Kindergarten Program: Comprehensive Montessori Education

The Montessori primary classroom is designed for children aged 3 to 6 years old, encompassing both preschool and kindergarten. During this sensitive period for learning, children are highly receptive to new information and experiences. Our program is tailored to meet the developmental needs of this age group, providing a stimulating, child-centered environment that fosters exploration, experimentation, and self-discovery.

Classroom Environment

The Montessori primary classroom is meticulously designed to cater to the developmental stages of young children. It is divided into specific learning areas that encourage cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth through a variety of activities. This setup allows children to engage in hands-on learning, enhancing their ability to learn through doing.

Building a Strong Foundation for Kindergarten

One of the primary goals of our program is to prepare children for kindergarten. This significant educational transition involves adapting to new structures, expectations, and routines. Our program ensures that children are well-equipped to succeed in kindergarten and beyond, providing them with the skills and confidence they need.

Mixed Aged Classrooms

Montessori classrooms feature mixed-age groups, allowing younger children to learn from older peers who act as role models and tutors. This setup ensures that each child learns at their own pace while benefiting from the mentorship of older classmates. Teachers observe and guide this process, fostering a collaborative and supportive learning environment.

Inquiry-Based Learning: Curiosity is Key

Inquiry-based learning engages students in hands-on, interactive, and collaborative activities that explore real-world problems and questions. This approach emphasizes that learning is an active process, encouraging students to ask questions, make observations, and test hypotheses. Activities may include conducting experiments, collecting data, analyzing evidence, and developing solutions.

Spanish, Music, and Yoga lessons are included as part of the program.
