In our Montessori Preschool Program for children ages 3 to 5, children work in a specially prepared Montessori environment where hands-on, sensory-rich materials guide their exploration. As the website describes:

Key Features of the Preschool Program:

  • Practical life activities — building independence, self-discipline, focus. 
  • Sensorial material — enabling children to refine their perception of color, shape, texture, volume, etc.
  • Language development through stories, poems, games, and Montessori language materials.
  • Math introduced via concrete manipulatives and gradually into abstract concepts. 
  • Children choose their own work, develop concentration, self-regulation, and confidence.

By working in this environment, children age 3–5 lay strong foundations academically, socially, and emotionally — ready to move into the kindergarten level when they’re ready.

Our Montessori Kindergarten Program, for ages 5 to 6, builds upon the preschool years and provides deeper academic reasoning, leadership opportunities, and community-building in the classroom. 

Highlights of the Kindergarten Year:

  • Leadership roles: children mentor younger classmates, develop patience, empathy, and communication skills. 
  • Academic reasoning: working with Montessori materials in more depth, transitioning into abstract concepts (e.g., essays) and deeper study. 
  • Strong foundation for group work and elementary-school readiness: 
  • Reinforcement of critical learning habits acquired in preschool: concentration, self-reliance, sense of order, love of learning. 

When your child completes kindergarten at Cave Creek Montessori, they are not only academically prepared but socially and emotionally ready for the next step.
