TOP Preschools in Lafayette

At Kinderhaus Montessori Preschool, we embrace a child-led learning approach rooted in the Montessori method. Unlike traditional education, our Montessori philosophy fosters self-reliance, confidence, and a deep understanding of concepts, helping your child thrive in a nurturing environment. Our Montessori programmes are based on the timeless ideologies of Montessori education. Our schools are run by enthusiastic, highly qualified teachers who know how to foster a child's innate curiosity and independence.
We accept that our child needs to be toilet trained if being enrolled into our Casa program (ie 3-6 years). Should an opening become available that is fitting for your child’s age and schedule, we will offer you the available opening and the option to continue montessori school the registration process. Once we receive your application we will contact you to schedule a tour for your family to visit our campus and meet the teachers. Each tour is private, custom tailored to your family and lasts approximately 1 hour with one of our Directors. Mathematics is always a part of the unconscious and conscious human experience perhaps beginning with the percussive  experience in the womb. It seems no wonder then that the young child is fascinated with experience and acquisition for the symbols and figures and in turn their manipulation.

These schools combine education and care, allowing children to learn and be cared for during the day. Montessori kindergarten programs focus on advanced academic and social techniques for children aged 5 to 6. At this stage, children are encouraged to take on leadership roles and explore complex concepts at their own pace.
We believe in holistic education in an integrated, secure and inclusive environment where all children are treated with respect and have access to learning materials at all times. Montessori is known to provide an education which teaches children life skills and independence while offering enriched movement, language and mathematical concepts. At NSW Montessori Schools our program addresses all aspects of their being, including the heart, mind and body. Our focus is on building a trusting and caring relationship with your child and entering into a partnership with you.
We also offer infant/parent, early childhood, preschool, elementary, and after school programs. Their skill, consistency, and nurturing presence create a calm and secure foundation for every child to grow. Our trained educators tailor learning to each child's stage of development and interests. A child’s education begins early in life, and at the Montessori School of Greater Lafayette, our mission is to foster independence, confidence, and  inspire a passion for learning in all of our students. Independent studies show Kindermusik’s approach to play-based learning improves cognitive, physical, and social-emotional growth. Look for parent reviews on HelloParent, check the school's curriculum, and visit the preschool to evaluate its safety, facilities, and environment.

Each attribute is unique and independent but as these aspects overlap, we find ways in which to link the curriculum outcomes. From public speaking to confidence building, conflict resolution to emotional stability, and physical wellness to a positive attitude. Our toddler program is designed for children 18 months to 2 years old. We invite you to explore  our website, visit one of our convenient centre locations, and discover how a Montessori education can benefit your child.
AG Montessori students often remain for three years in the primary “casa” with a consistent teacher. The student may be invited to join the Advanced Method elementary class after the final, kindergarten year of the Montessori primary experience. This brings greater advantages as the child has time to develop stable relationships and the guide knows just how to best guide each familiar student. In our classes every child is not new each year and this provides healthy continuity and insures excellent progress in all areas.
Infants enjoy bottle feeding, while older babies settle in with floor time - exploring soft Montessori toys, rolling, crawling, and connecting with caregivers. The Montessori Toddler Program is active, self-paced, and involves learning using all five senses. Children are introduced to the five areas of the Montessori Curriculum.

As children transition into the Upper School, they enter an environment designed for exploration and independence. The day follows a consistent routine of lessons, movement, and sensory play, with a balance of structure and freedom to choose. To get started, book a centre tour where you'll meet the Centre Manager, explore the environment, and receive an Enrolment Kit or Waiting List application. Families can join the Waiting List at multiple Montessori Academy centres, and will receive quarterly updates from our Family Care Team while they wait.
