Kindergarten Readiness
Our Primary program prepares children academically, socially, and emotionally for kindergarten through individualized lessons in reading, writing, mathematics, science, practical life, and executive functioning. Children progress at their own pace while developing concentration, independence, problem-solving skills, leadership, and a lifelong love of learning.
Why Montessori?
Rather than teaching every child the same lesson at the same time, Montessori teachers observe each child's readiness and present new materials when they are prepared to succeed. This individualized approach helps children build confidence while mastering real-life and academic skills.
