The Pre-School Program
Our Pre-School program, for children age 3 - 5, has been the Alfred Montessori's flagship program since 1983. Teachers act as facilitators, stimulating interest in the child-centered learning environment. An emphasis on order and completion balances their freedom of choice, resulting in a calm yet active atmosphere. Children continue to develop their independence and become academically and socially prepared for full-time kindergarten.
