Eden Prarie Montessori Kindergarten Program:
Kindergarten: Mixed age groups enable children to learn from one another. The ratio of 10 children to one adult, licensed for 40 students, we have 2 classrooms of 20 students each with one teacher and one assistant teacher. The older children learn to help the younger children and experience leadership skills. The younger children learn not only language skills but also routine, appropriate behavior, and general classroom conduct by observing their role models. Children are introduced to and work with age appropriate materials to develop coordination, control, concentration, movement, math concepts, preparation for reading and writing, aesthetic concepts, sensorial concepts, geography, science, and music each day with the aid of the unique Montessori materials and method. A well balanced day with classsroom time and playtime is scheduled each day. Children also learn the imporatance of working individually to complete a task as well as working in teams or with a partner. Manners, nutrition, good habits, taking care of oneself and environment are some things we work on.
