Crossway Community Montessori School

< 1 mi

Child care
Preschool
Crossway Community Montessori School aims to cultivate every child s own natural desire to learn. We aim to cultivate curious, compassionate, self-directed, socially responsible citizens who work collaboratively, respectfully, and peacefully as interdependent learners in a diverse community. Three levels of child care and educational environments are provided by Montessori-trained educators. Each environment is specially prepared and developmentally appropriate to meet the needs of children moving through successive phases of development and invites the child to active, purposeful engagement with learning. Nido (Italian word for nest) - ages 3 to 18 mos. Within this carefully organized space, children explore their surroundings, developing independent movement, perception, and language skills. Infant Community - ages 18 mos to 3 yrs. It is specifically designed to assist the child as his/her mobility and language continue to develop. The environment stresses socialization and language enrichment, allows for purposeful work with the hands, and encourages repetition. The concept of choice becomes central to children at this age, and the opportunity to select work based on interest allows each child s concentration, self-confidence, and independence to grow. Primary Program - ages 3 to 6 yrs. The environment is carefully prepared using Montessori principles that allow the children to choose work according to their interests and developmental level. Children explore basic concepts of literacy, numeracy, geography, music, art and care of self and the environment. Extended day hours are available for ages 3 & 4.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Kensington, MD

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Kensington, MD. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift.

You can also check your options in Kensington, MD for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Kensington, MD, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances.

From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Kensington, MD.
