School Readiness, The Montessori Way
Our preschool curriculum is Montessori-inspired, which means children are active participants in their own learning. Rather than sitting and listening, children work with hands-on materials, choose activities that interest them, and build skills through discovery.
By the time your child leaves Norwood Academy's preschool program, they will have developed:
- Early literacy — letter recognition, phonics, pre-reading and writing skills
- Math foundations — number concepts, counting, sorting, and early problem-solving
- Science and discovery — nature exploration, observation, and curiosity-driven learning
- Social-emotional skills — independence, empathy, conflict resolution, and confidence
- Cultural awareness — geography, community, and an appreciation for the world around them
Documenting Your Child's Journey
One of the things that sets our preschool program apart is how we document each child's progress. Rather than a single report card, we maintain ongoing records of your child's development — providing evidence of their skills, growth, and individual learning style.
Parents receive progress reports twice a year, and our teachers are always available to discuss your child's development. This documentation is also shared with your child's next school, giving their new teachers a clear, personalized picture of who they are as a learner.
Preparing For What Comes Next
Our Montessori-inspired curriculum is specifically designed to transition beautifully into any elementary school setting. Children leave Norwood Academy confident, curious, and genuinely excited about learning.
