Kindergarten Program

In the Montessori approach, the kindergarten year is a crucial time for children as they combine their knowledge and curiosity through hands-on experiences. This stage allows them to deepen their understanding by linking abstract ideas to real-world situations. With the support of dedicated educators in a nurturing environment, each child embarks on a personalized educational path, developing their skills and interests while forming meaningful social connections. 

Kindergarten, at Montessori Stepping Stones, is a full day program  Children attending kindergarten spend their morning in a primary classroom, ages 3-6, where they receive their lessons in the core curriculum areas and benefit from the multi-age classroom. In the afternoon, the children,  join together in the extended day classroom.

During this afternoon session, taking place from 12:30-3:30, the children have time to work with their peers and practice their independent thinking and learning skills. This program offers a wealth of extensions to the core Montessori curriculum, including: art exploration, science experimentation, cooking, nutrition, study of the human body, a more in-depth study of cultures, advanced practical life activities, sensorial extensions, field trips, and much more.

Kindergarten children at Montessori Stepping Stones truly blossom and earn the rewards they have worked so hard to achieve.
