We are Montessori!
Don’t forget Maria Montessori’s wise words, “Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.”
Provide the right tools. You’d be amazed how much children can do for themselves, especially when they have child-sized tools, furnishings, or utensils. Provide low shelves so that they can put away their own toys, books, etc. Even very young children can return things to their proper places, hang their own coats, put laundry in the hamper, and much more. Start with things like: a step stool, a small table and chairs, a scaled-down dustpan and broom, or cups, bowls and spoons just the right size for little kids.

Children are engaged all day with different activities. We call it a happy place.

Kids First Academy is a happy place for children to be.
Children learn through play. Kids love coming to school. They learn through music and different activities.

Play is far more powerful for children, however, than many parents realize. It’s actually the key to learning. Researchers and educators across the world have found that play can help enrich learning and develop key skills such as inquiry, expression, experimentation, and teamwork.

We need to consider that young children learn in quite different ways [than adults]. They learn by comparing physical experiences, by interactions with other people and their own feelings. And they learn an enormous amount through their imagination.... Play is what pulls together the logical and creative parts of the brain.

"Play gives children a chance to practice what they’re learning"
- Fred Rogers

We look forward to an amazing year ahead.

Kids First Academy prepares students for grade one. Students who graduated showed great achievement.

Kids First Academy believes: The key word is “together”. Parents and guardians should be at the heart of any child’s education. While teachers are there at the front of the classroom, it’s the family you come home to who provide an essential foundation for academic success. That’s why we believe that parental involvement in school is so important.
Parents and caregivers engagement contributes to an excellent education. To make sure our pupils are given the very best start, we work hard to develop strong partnerships with parents and guardians of the children. Please continue to read, play and get involved with school always.
We are striving for excellence. Our goal is to provide play based education incorporating Montessori teaching with traditional setting. Our kids are happy, confident and enthusiastic.
