Our 4s and 5s Pre K Program

At Kinder Prep Montessori, we believe that children are naturally curious, capable, and eager to explore the world around them. Our Pre-Kindergarten program for 4–5 year olds is thoughtfully designed to nurture independence, self-confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.In our Pre-K classroom, children take pride in doing things for themselves—hanging up their backpacks, managing their daily routines, and mastering important life skills like toileting, handwashing, and self-care. Our educators gently guide children through these milestones while giving them the space to lead their own learning journey.

At this age, children thrive through hands-on learning, movement, and peer interaction. In our rich, Montessori-inspired environment, they learn not only from the materials around them, but also from observing and collaborating with other children. Older preschoolers often step into leadership roles, proudly helping their younger classmates—strengthening their social-emotional skills and sense of responsibility.

Our Pre-K program focuses on:

- Fostering independence and problem-solving
- Encouraging empathy, kindness, and emotional awareness
- Building school readiness and early academic skills
- Exploring nature, science, language, and the arts
- Developing gross and fine motor coordination through play and movement

‍By the time children leave Kinder Prep’s Pre-K classroom, they are well-prepared—both socially and academically—for the transition to kindergarten. They’ve learned to make thoughtful decisions, resolve conflicts peacefully, and understand how their actions affect others. Most importantly, they leave us with a deep sense of confidence, joy, and a genuine love for learning. Children learn to trust themselves and the world and to recognize their own competence. They learn to make decisions and to understand that their behavior affects others, who also have needs and wants. They learn to appreciate nature, to care for their bodily needs, and to persist. They develop a love of learning and experience the satisfaction of success.
