Overview 

Our Pre-Kindergarten/Kindergarten classroom is a warm, inviting environment where children aged 4, 5, and 6 receive individualized instruction.  Our low student-to-teacher ratio has a maximum of 12-to-1, which allows our teachers to cultivate the innate curiosity in each of our students.  

In order to meet the need in our community for options for Kindergarteners during the COVID-19 pandemic, we pivoted and converted our third preschool classroom into a PreK/K classroom. We have placed our more advanced 4 year olds in this classroom and have space for about 10 Kindergarteners to join.  

Curriculum 

This classroom will follow the Montessori Method where students learn by exploration. Our professional and caring teachers create a nurturing and welcoming learning community where children are respected as individuals.  

Our students learn at their own pace and begin to think for themselves. Our spacious classroom is designed to entice the child to explore and discover.  The orderly prepared environment is filled with multi-sensory learning materials.  The materials are organized in a specific sequence beginning with the simplest, most concrete representation of the subject matter, then make a gradual progression to the abstract.  Each and every element in our classroom is chosen to promote learning, discovery, and independence. Our students learn at their own pace and begin to think for themselves. They learn social and interpersonal skills as they develop a passion for learning.
