Kindergarten Program

Highlights of the third year (Kindergarten)

The third year (kindergarten) is the “capstone” to the Montessori cycle of our Early Childhood Program. As the most senior children in the classroom, the third year child serves as role models for their younger peers. They build and reinforce their cognitive skills, leadership skills, self-esteem, and self-reliance as they internalize the academic work from their first two years of the Montessori cycle. With clarity and understanding, kindergartners reduce complex concepts to their simplest elements. Third-year students participate in a host of select activities including special field trips, community service, carpool patrol, science fair, drama, music, photography, and graduation. By the completion of their kindergarten year, WFCH students consolidate advanced academic skills before moving on to first grade at the end of the school year.

KLab

Our Kindergarten Lab (KLab) provides a space where the kindergarten cohort meet and learn together in a dynamic, engaging and well-prepared environment outfitted for delving deeper into the Montessori curriculum.
