Primary Program

Primary Environment (Ages 3-5)

Kawaiahaʻo Church School’s primary environment is thoughtfully designed following Montessori principles and methods to nurture each child’s natural curiosity and desire to learn.

Children ages 3 to 5 engage in an academically enriched setting within a well-structured social community. The carefully selected materials support the development of order, concentration, coordination, and independence, laying a foundation for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics).

Each child is valued as an individual, and teachers build close relationships with every student, allowing for a personalized teaching approach that helps each child reach their full potential. With a foundation of respect, honesty, warmth, patience, and understanding, children in this environment establish learning patterns that foster confidence and competence, preparing them to progress to our Kindergarten program.
