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. Kindergarten students spend significant time on kindergarten-level work, including ongoing development of reading, math, and writing skills.
NSMS kindergarten students can attend the half-day program—which is similar in length to many half-day kindergarten programs—or the school-day or full-day programs, which provide a longer school day.
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 5 years old no later than September 1 of the year that he/she begins kindergarten. NSMS holds a kindergarten graduation in May for all children that have completed this program.
