Our Curriculum Framework

Our Curriculum is designed around four key areas: Child Centered, Culturally Responsive, Standards-Based, and Montessori-Inspired.

These four areas drive our decisions on what is taught in our classrooms. 

Our Curriculum meets the child where they are and prioritizes all areas of child development.

Our Curriculum also encourages independence, collaboration, and joy in learning.

Montessori Inspired Approach

Core Montessori elements are the foundation of the Killarney Kids Montessori Preschool Curriculum. Our educators are trained in the Montessori method, and our classroom has a full set of Montessori materials. The Montessori approach allows every child to develop naturally — to learn and grow at their own pace. Our Curriculum will also borrow from other pedagogies to learn, invent, and improve our ability to support every child’s development. 

In our classrooms, children follow their interests and engage in hands-on activities using Montessori materials designed to meet each child’s developmental needs using scientific methods. This enhances a child’s physical, intellectual, social, emotional, and cultural development.
