Preschool & Kindergarten Curriculum

Our Montessori Preschool & Kindergarten programs offer a well-rounded curriculum that encourages curiosity and helps children make meaningful connections as they learn. Building on the skills they developed as toddlers, the classroom is carefully set up to guide children through different areas of learning that support their growth in every way.
