Preparing for Kindergarten the Montessori Way

Decorative Wave

Kindergarten readiness is about more than knowing letters and numbers. At Arbor View Montessori, we prepare children for the next step in school—and in life—by nurturing their ability to think critically, focus deeply, and work independently.

Here’s how Montessori lays a strong foundation for kindergarten success:

1. Independence

Montessori children know how to care for themselves and their environment. They choose their work, clean up after themselves, and follow daily routines confidently—all of which transfer beautifully to the kindergarten classroom.

2. Concentration

Through long, uninterrupted work periods, our students learn how to stay focused—an essential skill for structured learning environments.

3. Academic Readiness

Montessori materials introduce language, math, science, and geography through hands-on exploration, building a deep understanding of key concepts.

4. Social-Emotional Growth

Our students learn to communicate respectfully, collaborate with peers, and resolve conflicts with kindness.

5. Love of Learning

Most importantly, Montessori children are curiousconfident, and motivated. They don’t just memorize—they love to learn.

Whether your child is heading to public school, private school, or staying in Montessori, the Arbor View foundation lasts a lifetime.
