KG1 (Montessori 2)

Monday - Friday

9am – 3pm

Overview

For the age group 3.5 to 4.5 years, the Montessori environment—expands on foundational work from earlier years and supports deeper concentration, independence, language development, and preparation for abstract thinking.

This stage is part of the First Plane of Development (0–6 years), where children are in the absorbent mind phase, but now move from unconscious to conscious learning. The activities become more refined and structured while still being hands-on and child-led.
