We know how important your child’s development is to you, and take great joy in watching each child grow. Kindergarten is an important year, as for the Montessori child it is the culminating year in the 3-6 year old cycle. The first two years of the curriculum lay a careful foundation for this exciting time of rapid maturity and intense focus. In our Kindergarten, your child will:

• Use the tools she has already mastered and apply them to the academic subjects
• Discover advanced language, math, and science materials and learn at his or her own pace rather than being held back, pushed forward prematurely, or compared to peers.
• Become more confident in abstract thinking, while new ideas continue to be explored and introduced through concrete materials
• Flourish in a classroom environment that promotes mutual respect and global perspective
• Be a LEADER in the classroom; Kindergarteners can be very adept teachers and positive role models for the younger students
• Recognize the value of his or her own ideas, and respect the creative process of others

Individual academic opportunities are tailored to each child preparing for first grade the following year, including access to more advanced Elementary level work as appropriate.
