Kindergarten
*Five days a week
NSMS is accredited by the American Montessori Society to offer kindergarten classes. NSMS students enrolled in Kindergarten continue in NSMS’s multi-age classes, which gives kindergarteners the opportunity to play an important leadership role in the classroom. Students spend significant time on Kindergarten-level work, including ongoing development of reading, math, and writing skills.
We strictly adhere to the State of Illinois guidelines regarding how old a child must be in order to be considered a Kindergartner. Your child must have turned five years old no later than September 1st of the year that he/she begins Kindergarten. NSMS holds a Kindergarten graduation ceremony in May for all children that have completed this program. Kindergarteners also enjoy special field trips and activities throughout the school year.
