Kindergarten Program
Ages 5
Our Kindergarten Program at Madison Montessori Academy builds upon the foundations laid in Casa, guiding children aged 5 to 6 toward independent, inquiry-based learning and collaborative exploration.
Our Philosophy
In kindergarten, students transition from apprentice learners to independent thinkers. Through integrated, research‑based projects and critical‑thinking exercises, children take ownership of their education while deepening their curiosity and creativity.
The Montessori Environment
Integrated Curriculum
Subjects interweave—language, math, geography, and science converge through thematic projects.
Prepared Spaces
Child‑scaled work areas, accessible materials, and collaborative tables support both focused individual work and group inquiry.
Teacher as Guide
Educators observe, present lessons, and step back for exploration, fostering self‑discipline and responsibility.
Daily Rhythm
Language Arts
Refine reading, writing, and grammar through phonics, word-building, and composition tasks.
Mathematics
Deepen understanding of arithmetic, geometry, and fractions with hands-on materials.
Geography & Culture
Develop map skills and global awareness through continent, country, and cultural studies.
Botany & Zoology
Investigate plant and animal science via hands-on classification and ecosystem exploration.
Health & Wellness
Promote physical, mental, and emotional balance with monthly themes, yoga, and science experiments.
Advanced Practical Life
Hone life skills—cooking, sewing, etiquette—to build coordination, concentration, and independence.
Building Readiness for the Years Ahead
This year is a powerful time for social, emotional, and academic growth, and our Montessori environment supports a smooth transition to elementary learning.
