Extended Primary
The third and final year of the Montessori primary three-year cycle is one of the most important years in a child’s Early Childhood development journey. After two full years, the Montessori classroom is a familiar environment for these five-year-olds. They know the daily routines inside and out; their teachers know them well and can work to their strengths and encourage them to tackle challenges. They are fully aware of being the oldest students in the classroom having lived through two years of transitions starting when they were three.
Kindergarten
Villa Montessori full-day kindergarten curriculum includes units that combine language, math, art, science, geography, history and cultural studies. A low student/teacher ratio allows for highly personalized teaching. We are not bound by arbitrary ‘cut off’ dates. Any child at least 4.5 years old is eligible for our Private Kindergarten Program as long as they are able to meet our readiness criteria.
