What is Montessori Kindergarten?

Montessori kindergarten is a private school for children entering elementary school for the first time. The Montessori approach to teaching kindergarten revolves around focusing on the child's wants and needs in the learning process, often dubbed as a child-centered educational approach.

A Montessori kindergarten classroom is blended with children of a variety of ages and skill levels. The educational approach relies on peer mentoring and a focus on how children's observations can lead them to learning. For example, children choose the lessons they want to learn in many instances and are encouraged to work with the teacher and peers to conduct hands-on experiments, labs and lessons.
