About Us
Windsong Montessori Preschool is ...
a joyous and respectful early childhood program for children aged three through the kindergarten year. The classroom is specially prepared, multi-aged settings with a full complement of Montessori materials that teach care of self and environment and early math, language, science, and geography principles with hands-on materials and activities. The Teacher inspires and encourages young children's natural curiosity in learning about the world around them. Our core principles include respecting the child, building independence, teaching compassion, and encouraging a life-long love of learning.
Following a traditional Montessori curriculum, students participate in activities based in five areas: language, math, sensorial, practical life, and cultural studies (geography, foreign language, arts, sciences). Lessons are given individually to students aged three and four, while kindergartners receive both individual and small-group lessons. Assessments include progress monitoring for developmental milestones and early academic skills in the pre-kindergarten years and for core skills in early reading and mathematics in the kindergarten year.
Our mission is to empower children to achieve their full potential; intellectually, spiritually, and physically, by creating an educational environment based on the five Montessori principles.

"Free the child's potential, and you transform him into the world" - Dr. Maria Montessori
