King's Ridge Montessori

The Montessori method believes that the best way to build a solid foundation of life-long learning is to stimulate the inherent curiosity that all of us are born with.That is why the King's Ridge family focuses on encouraging children to explore, discover and experience the joy of life-long learning. At King's Ridge Montessori, our main goal is to offer the most nurturing and enriching program for the children throughout the first six years of their lives, the age they are more eager to learn by exploring.

Infants make giant leaps in physical, emotional and intellectual development during their early years .With stimulating activities and Montessori exercises, they are able to develop the skills required for the smooth transition into the Toddler environment.Our well designed and spacious toddler environment encourages freedom of movement and exploration. The toddler curriculum includes practical life activities, language and vocabulary building exercises, music, arts and craft activities. The casa environment is bright and spacious. The children will have the opportunity to discover the joy of learning through a multitude of hands-on concrete experience that the Montessori materials offer.

King's Ridge Montessori's Mission Is to provide a safe and Nurturing learning environment to inspire an individualized lifelong love of learning in every child, every day. The administration, staff and volunteer of King's Ridge approach every day learning driven by the same fixed ambitious vision: set a leading standard in trustworthy educational childcare in a superior physical learning environment. We hope to achieve better work-life balance solutions for are employers and through exceptional childcare and learning programs tailored to individual families.

We know that the early year for children are the learning years and this learning continues into adulthood. We want children to be life-long learners, to be part of a community of learners, and to grow into adults who can make difference in the world.

We have Developed our own method of delivering care and education to young children- a blend of Montessori principles/philosophy and the best practices of Early Childhood Educations. This combination of approaches provides our children with a framework that is sense of engagement, and the ability to express oneself. This encourages the development of shills that parents have identified as important: reading, math, and creative arts. We also emphasize social skills and respect for others. Dr. Montessori calls this collection of manners "Grace and Courtesy". She and many other childcare professionals have come to believes that there is a high correlation between social behavior and academic behavior.

In toddler Programs, the children continue to be involved in a challenging experiences that support their emerging independence and autonomy. Our teachers provide a carefully prepared environment which is design to promote a sense of personal empowerment and build self-esteem and other-esteem, while offering a range of sensory and congestive experiences which drive neural activity and stimulate brain development. We believe in addition to feeling good about oneself, children need to develop "other-esteem" -to feel the way the other feels-and important, but often neglected, balance to the emphasis in our society towards promoting "self-esteem".

Our environments are authentic Montessori communities. They reflects our commitment to helping children develop skills for life-long learning-concentration, independent thinking, problem solving, and love of learning. Preschool children thrive on challenges and stimulation, are avid explores of their environment, and have a natural enthusiasm for work. With a three year mix, younger children learn by example and older children solidify their knowledge by teaching others. We encourage the development of creativity, problem-solving strategies,independence, and academic skills. With unlimited access to a large variety of Montessori materials,like children's development, proceed from the concrete to the abstract. Friends fulfill the child's development need to feel valued, understood, and accepted by peers. Our Montessori directresses help children to make friends, to be a friend and to resolve the inevitable conflicts positively.
