Kyrene Montessori
Learn About our Program
Montessori represents an entirely different approach to early learning, one which Kyrene is excited to offer-exemplifying its commitment to diversified educational services. This program is open to students who are three to five years of age.
The philosophy is based on Dr. Maria Montessori's discovery of universal principles underlying the development of all children ― that nature has given children special forms of mental powers that aid in their self-construction.
The Kyrene Montessori Program is located at Kyrene
de la Mirada and is offered during the same time as the traditional educational programs in the Kyrene School District.
» Full day Montessori program runs from 7:45 am - 2:35 pm.
(Every Wednesday is early release with dismissal time of 12:35 pm.)
» Half day Montessori
program runs from 7:45 am - 11:15 am.
Please note that not all children will start on the same day, Montessori
is child directed learning therefore we have staggered start dates. For
more information please call (480) 783-4096 or (480)783-4039.
The Montessori Classroom
Kyrene Montessori classrooms provide a warm and inviting learning environment filled with plants, animals, art, music and books. The authentic Montessori environment facilitates student discussion and stimulates collaborative learning, while students receive instruction individually and in small groups.
Every Montessori classroom has access to a full complement of Montessori
materials, the school's library, and media center. Classrooms also have
access to an outdoor environment, where children can use their senses to
explore nature and interact with one another. Classroom observations
by parents are encouraged. Please call Wolfgang Ganey at (480) 783-2987 to set up a classroom visit.
