Montessori Kindergarten & Preschool
Our preschool program provides your child with rich experiences that are adapted to the developmental needs of each child.
Inspiring discovery & development
Apple Montessori Schools' preschool & kindergarten programs, for children ages 2 through 6, maintain structure and order within the classroom environment to ensure our students have a well-balanced school day that includes academics and social time. A typical school day is divided into thirds, with lunch and nap time also included in the schedule. One-third of the day is spent engrossed in individualized learning (using unique hands-on Montessori materials) covering core curriculum topics such as: Math, Science, Language Arts, History, & Geography; one-third of the day is spent in a group setting participating in enrichment activities such as Art, Music, and FasTracKids; and one-third of the day involves outdoor and gross-motor play, mostly performed in our outdoor play area.
Preschool is an exciting (and crucial) time for a child's academic and social growth. This age sets the stage for the future. That is why we meet the needs of each child. Our classrooms provide a welcoming environment for discovery and exploration that will spark your child’s natural curiosity. Standout features within our classrooms include students learning from peers as well as the teachers, a unique reading program, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) curriculum, character education, and social development. Through hands-on, multi-sensory materials we foster a lifelong appreciation for learning. Additionally, students in these programs are exposed to enrichment activities like art, music & drama, foreign language, and more.
