Our Accredited kindergarten program is a fun and exciting time for children at the Montessori School of Chantilly.

During your child’s time in kindergarten, they will learn a lot of new information as well as develop their skills further. At Montessori School of Chantilly, this is the time where we work with your child to progress from a “show me how” to a “ I can do it myself” mentality. From here, we will work with your child to go one step further and reach the “let me teach you how” stage.
One of our main goals at our school is to help your child develop a love for learning. We work to help our students feel rewarded when they learn something, gain a new skill, and master a task. With this love for learning, your child will excel academically throughout their time in school.

Language
By the time your child reaches kindergarten, they will have a strong foundation for language and continue to develop their knowledge and skills. Our skilled teachers will help students further develop their language skills as they make their way to first grade.
Math
We work with our students to learn and understand math and how it can be found and used in our daily lives. They will develop the ability to count and perform simple math problems as they prepare for elementary school.
Science
Throughout your child’s time in our kindergarten program, they will gain a basic understanding and get hands-on experience with different types of science. Science helps your child get a better understanding of how the world works and their surroundings.
History
Your child will also learn some basic history lessons and important dates in our history. History gives your child a different perspective of the world around them. These lessons can help your child think about everything in a new light and keep them interested in the past and future.
Computer Work
Nowadays, technology is a huge part of our culture and we believe that is is important to teach children how to use computers at a young age. Your child will develop typing skills and other computer skills at our school.
