Welcome to our Pre-Primary Hillsdale Campus!
Our Pre-Primary program welcomes children of mixed ages, from 2.6 to 5+ years. Through this unique setting, children learn from each other and because of each other. Younger children observe and learn from older peers, while older children reinforce their knowledge by sharing it with younger classmates. This constant interaction encourages children to take responsibility for themselves and others, fosters respect for different ages and abilities, and promotes kindness in the classroom community. Here, each child is treated with dignity and respect and learns to do the same for others.
At Hillsdale campus, our programming is offered for Full Days from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM. The Full Day program includes lessons from the Montessori classroom as well as activities from the Creative Arts classroom. The Montessori program focuses on key areas of work lessons, while the Creative Arts program features activities that help children transition into or unwind from their Montessori lessons, emphasizing arts and play-based activities.
We also offer extended hours programs from 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM and from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM, tailored to meet families’ needs, subject to availability.
Additionally, we accept kindergarten-age students in our Pre-Primary program five days a week, prioritizing full-time or daily attendance over part-time or shared attendance with another school. The Montessori Program head educator provides a report card to support each child’s future educational journey. Kindergarten children aged six and under will remain eligible for the Government’s Parent Fee Reduction Grant until the end of the school year or until they turn seven, whichever comes first. Regular rates will apply once a child is no longer eligible.
