Kindergarten Program

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 kindergarten children, from each of the three primary classrooms, 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.

The kindergarten year is the culmination of the Montessori primary program three-year cycle. During the third year, the child is able to bring together all the information they have been absorbing from the previous two years. These children have the opportunity to be role models for the younger children and finally become class leaders.

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