Our programs are based on the Montessori philosophy of self-paced learning within a structured environment. It is enriched with programs in art, French, and frequent field trips.
Preschool program:
2.5 to 5 years of age
Kindergarten program:
5 years of age
Kindergarten students are the oldest in their mixed age groups. At this point they have become “experts” in their development and work with the basic Montessori material, and will now be working with more advanced materials.
Kindergarteners dedicate time to reading daily, practicing handwriting, and working on individual projects. As experts they become leaders and role models to the younger students. This becomes an excellent opportunity to develop their leadership skills. They grow in their sense of responsibility, increase self-esteem, and solidify their knowledge while continuously challenging themselves to learn new things. This gives the children the skills they need to meet new challenges and form a foundation for life.
