Pre-Kinder Montessori/Kinder Traditional

The school utilizes the Montessori method, which allows the child to work with concrete manipulative materials in all areas of the curriculum. The materials are presented to the child according to his/her abilities and special needs. In this type of environment the child is able to advance at his/her own pace, since the materials are presented individually.

The Montessori curriculum includes: Art, Handwriting, Language Arts (Writing, Phonics and Reading Skills), Library, Math, Music, Practical Life Skills, Religion, Science, Sensorial Apparatus, and Cultural subjects. Classes are composed of mixed ages (3-4). In this type of setting children learn from each other: younger ones observe older students' activities and older students reinforce what they have learned by teaching the younger ones.

Kinder Students have a balanced core curricula of ELA/R, Library, Math, PE, Religion, Science and Social Studies.  Students also receive classes in Art, Music, Spanish and Technology
