Kindergarten
When you chose to invest in a Montessori education for your child, it is a purposeful decision. By choosing Village Green Montessori for the kindergarten year, you are providing your child with an environment that enriches all aspects of development.
If you child is already a VGM student, then they will build upon the foundation they have already established during their preschool years at VGM. If they are new to VGM or an existing student, kindergarten is a time for self-discovery, practicing responsibility, teaching others, and reinforcing their learning.
Montessori programs are designed for children to build upon their skills, providing rich layers of knowledge that deepen each year. This foundation happens over time, and children leave with a sense of confidence and ownership over their learning. The kindergarten year is the pinnacle of the Montessori experience!
Special Teachers and Personal Attention
Developing relationships with children and families is at the heart of VGM. The kindergarten year is often the second or third consecutive year that your child's teachers will have the privilege of working with them. Through this time spent together, a special bond is formed, and our teachers truly come to know and love each child. With a deep understanding of each child’s individual learning style and temperament, teachers are able to thoughtfully challenge and support each student in ways that are most effective and nurturing.
Our 1 to 8 Teacher/Student Ratio is Perfect for All Learning Styles
No matter how your child learns best, the Montessori approach is individualized. Our low student-to-teacher ratio allows for one-on-one reading time and small group lessons to take place simultaneously. This approach accommodates both the child who grasps concepts quickly and the child who learns better through repetition.
Montessori Meets Children Where They Are
Multi-sensory learning enables each child to move forward in their abilities at their own pace, in their own time. While public school districts are charged with assessing all incoming students of varying experiences and “catching them up” to the Common Core standards, kindergarteners in the Montessori classroom transition smoothly to a new year. Given their established relationships, they can move forward with their goals and continue exploring new concepts that will continually interest and challenge them.
Flexible Scheduling For Your Family’s Needs
While some children are ready for full-day kindergarten, others are not. Parents know their children best! At VGM, you can choose from a wide array of options. VGM offers full-day kindergarten, half-day morning or afternoon kindergarten, as well as three or four extended day options.
It is wonderful to watch the kindergarteners’ growth from the beginning to the end of the year! They leave Village Green Montessori having come full-circle in the Montessori program, confident and excited to begin first grade.
