Where Little Learners Grow, Explore, and Shine!

Junior Kindergarten Programs

At Ladybird Montessori Learning Academy, our Junior Kindergarten programs are thoughtfully designed to prepare your child for Kindergarten readiness, focusing on academic, social, and emotional development.

​

In this program, children build essential skills such as fine motor skills, self-help abilities, and pre-reading foundations. They transition from a 1:4 teacher-to-student ratio to a 1:8 ratio, fostering self-confidence, independence, and emotional regulation.

​

Children expand their verbal communication from simple one- to two-word phrases to three- to five-word sentences. They begin recognizing their names, progress from reading 2-3 letter words to 3-4 letter words, and eventually learn to write their names and other basic words. In math, they explore concepts like short and long, orientation, shallow and deep, and counting to 100.

​

Beyond academics, children learn to follow multi-step instructions, develop empathy, compassion, and cooperation, and express their feelings to build self-regulation skills. Personal hygiene skills, such as toileting and dressing, are also introduced, helping them gain independence and confidence.

​

We encourage each child to understand their unique place in the world while nurturing their natural curiosity and love for learning.

​

Our Junior Kindergarten program incorporates a well-rounded Montessori curriculum, including:

​

• Reading, Writing, and Math

​

• Science, Practical Life, and Sensorial Activities

​

• Social Studies

​

Enrichment activities such as Music, Gymnastics, French, and Art further enhance their learning experience, ensuring a holistic approach to development.

​

At Ladybird Montessori Learning Academy, we are committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, preparing them for a successful transition to Kindergarten and beyond.
