How are kinder and pre-kinder classes organized?
These classes are categorized as Pre-K3 (3 year old), Pre-K4 (4 year old) and Kinder-5 (5 year old). Students are grouped in a class that provides a Montessori curriculum. They are combined so that the kinder students act as mentors or role models to the younger students. Students learn through Montessori methods as well as through traditional methods. For example, younger students will learn tactile and gross motor skills and, when appropriate, students will begin math and reading skills to prepare them for 1st grade.
