About our Primary Class

3 ½ to 5 years

In true Montessori practice, our Primary class is set up in an open style with work areas throughout the room and material available on accessible shelving. The prepared environment is a key of Montessori learning. Teacher delivered lessons are given to small groups or individual students while other children work independently.

Students are always encouraged and challenged to achieve higher levels of learning, but they are allowed to progress at their own pace under the teacher's guidance.

Our TEFA and Texas Rising Star approved primary curriculum teaches all core subjects including language arts, reading, math, science, and social studies. Each day the children have the opportunity to rest from 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM or continue working quietly on their studies.

Primary Care: Theory and Enrichment

In alignment with Maria Montessori's philosophy of child development, KMA is comitted to providing proper care, nutrition, rest, and balanced environment; our academy teachers and staff are equipped to aid in the development of your child's academics and character during this time in their childhood.
