KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM
Little Star Montessori
offers an advanced kindergarten program. This is for children aged 5-6 years and
is a culmination of the first years at Montessori Preschool. The children are
taught to connect phonetic sounds to form simple words. This eventually leads to
reading words phonetically – and what a thrill it is for children to discover
they can read! We also offer a variety of age appropriate ‘Reading Books’,
‘Reading Games’, ‘Reading Boxes’ and ‘Flashcards’ in our Reading
Program. Writing words, spelling them out, simple sentence formation and
eventually writing short compositions or stories makes our program enjoyable,
interesting and educational. Reading and writing are also connected to other
areas in our classroom, for example in geography studies, story-time, and
science. In Math, we introduce addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division work that the children find fascinating to do.
The kindergarten clan enjoys
special field trips as well that are separate from preschool children. A wide
variety of ideas, stories, topics and materials are offered to enrich their
kindergarten experience further. Special arts & crafts, needlework,
embroidery, clay-work, drama, along with music, French and Spanish is offered.
