The Montessori Curriculum
The essence of Dr. Maria Montessori’s method is to allow for the development of natural human tendencies and to help children as they adapt to their culture. The curriculum is grounded in the universal laws of human development that include movement, language, order, adaptation, work, self- discipline, exploration, self-perfection, abstract thinking, imagination and creativity.
Montessori offers an alternative
A goal of the Montessori program is to help children think for themselves and to be actively involved in their own education. This is one distinction between a Montessori program and many conventional school programs. The Montessori environment is filled with beautiful and enticing age- appropriate materials.

Admissions at KV Montessori Academy
Admission to KV Montessori Academy is open to children aged 18 months to 6 years as of the date of admission. Priority consideration is given to siblings of current students.
Toddler (18 to 36 months)
Primary (2-3.5 years)
Primary Advanced (3.5-6 years)
Admission is most appropriate in the first year of the program, as older children act as role models and mentors to younger children and it may be difficult for an older child without a Montessori background to enter the classroom as a “new” student. However, successful transitions are possible and we welcome applications from families new to Montessori, space permitting.
All children will have an interview/visit day with a teacher prior to admission.
Please feel free to contact our Director, Norma Chang, with any questions at (619) 730-4020.
