Starting kindergarten is an exciting time for your child at Imani Montessori! We want to make sure they have a fantastic journey ahead, filled with learning and fun. Here are some important skills they will be taught to help them get off to a great start:

1.Learning to Say Goodbye to Parents/Guardians

Starting school can sometimes be a bit scary, especially when it’s the first time away from Mom and Dad. But don’t worry! At Imani Montessori, your child will learn how to say goodbye to their parents or guardians with confidence. They’ll discover that school is a safe and exciting place to be.

2. Joining a Group and Participating

Kindergarten is all about making new friends and working together. Your child will learn how to join a group of classmates and take part in activities. This helps them develop important social skills and fosters a sense of belonging in the classroom.

3. Taking Responsibility for Their Belongings

Keeping track of school items like their bag, lunchbox, and books is an important skill. Your child will learn to be responsible for their belongings, which is not only helpful for kindergarten but also a great life skill to have.

4. Overcoming the Negative Emotions of Fear – Feel the Fear but Do It Anyway

Sometimes, we all feel a little scared or nervous, and that’s perfectly okay. At Imani Montessori, your child will learn how to face their fears and worries bravely. We encourage them to feel the fear but do things anyway, helping them grow into confident individuals.

5. Maintaining a Cheerful Attitude as They Face School Each Day

A positive attitude can make a big difference in how much your child enjoys school. We encourage all our kindergarteners to start each day with a cheerful disposition. This positive outlook will help them embrace new challenges and adventures in the classroom.

Starting kindergarten is an important step in your child’s educational journey, and we’re here to support them every step of the way. As your child learns these skills, he/she will be well-prepared to have a fantastic time at Imani Montessori, laying the foundation for a bright future. We can’t wait to see your child thrive and grow with us.
