Rising Star’s Pre-K program has been carefully designed to meet the developmental needs of the young child. The classes have a ratio of 1 adult to 9 children. The teacher becomes the link between the enriched learning didactics and what the child experiences, discovers and understands. Children are provided with opportunities to learn independence while developing their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills. Children also become a part of a classroom learning community where they utilize their grace and courtesy skills and internal discipline.

Rising Star Montessori School’s Kindergarten Program is a five full-day program, Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Resources include Library skills, P.E., Art, Writer’s Workshop, Music Appreciation, Computer, Spanish and Sign Language. The Montessori curriculum follows the child. Following the child is one place where Montessori differs considerably from traditional education. Rather than following a set simultaneous sequential curriculum, where every child learns the same things every day regardless of their knowledge or aptitude, a more flexible approach is taken. Each child is assessed and begins within the continuum of the ages 3-6 curriculum meaning they are taught at the level they are at for each curriculum area. There are 3 parent/teacher conferences scheduled for the school year to hear about the progress of your child and it also ensures individual support through home and school. Goal setting conferences are scheduled in September, January and May.
