Montessori

Montessori offers a time-proven curriculum that allows children to explore through hands-on learning experiences, to learn at their own pace and proceed to the next step or lesson in learning as they are ready. Children of different ages learn together in a warm and relaxed environment that promotes independence, respect, sharing and responsibility. Students work with specially designed and attractively displayed developmental learning materials. Montessori helps students gain the skills needed to work independently and as a part of a group. Montessori Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4 is a tuition-based program and is not a part of VPK.
