Columbia Crest Montessori's early childhood programs are designed to meet the needs of families with children 12 months to 6 years of age.
In the Kindergarten program preschool students continue their learning journey through more rigorous academic challenges and leading their young preschool inmates using teacher directed approach. At this age the program nurtures their inner drive for learning by providing opportunities to try something new.
The program makes learning fun and interesting using musical, logical-mathematical, linguistic, and interpersonal traits.
