KMCP’s Mission:

Kernersville Moravian Church Preschool (KMCP) provides a Montessori-inspired education in a Christian environment for children from ages 2 years to 6 years old. We celebrate the diversity that enriches our families and ensures that, regardless of race, creed, or economic background, each child has access to a high-quality education and the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential.

 

Goals & Objectives:

KMCP’s goal is to provide a high-quality education that all children deserve. Our students are provided with the opportunity to succeed in an environment tailored to their unique and individual needs. The child is met at their specific developmental stage following Maria Montessori’s curriculum. We believe that home is the child’s foundation, and our goal is to form a partnership with our families to refine, foster, and watch our students flourish.

 

Why Montessori?

We think your child is special and we believe we have something special to share with him or her here at our preschool. We have a small, family-like atmosphere that nurtures the “Whole Child.”  We especially believe that our Montessori styled philosophy and methodology serves children in ways that traditional preschools and childcare centers cannot. 

 

Reasons to Choose Montessori:

  • Classrooms are well-designed “prepared environments” where everything is child-sized, orderly, and clutter free; thus enabling children to develop an internal sense of order and build good habits (everything has a place and is always put back in its place) right from the start.
  • Children are free to respond to their natural curiosity and innate desire to learn about the world around them.
  • Generally, lessons are presented individually or in small groups, thus allowing each child to progress at his/her own pace and rhythm.
  • We believe children learn best in an active, hands-on learning environment.  Therefore, every lesson includes the use of some type of manipulative or ‘Montessori Didactic Equipment” which the child uses to literally construct his own knowledge and understanding of the intended concept.
  • We believe that ‘making mistakes’ is part of the learning process.  As a matter of fact, self-assessment and self-correction are integral parts of the Montessori educational process. Montessori Lessons are designed to be self-correcting therefore allowing children to problem solve and correct their own mistakes. 
  • All these factors contribute to the child’s self-actualization and build his self-confidence, with the goal of achieving independent thinkers and life-long learners.
