Oak Knoll Kinderhaus Montessori050

Oak Knoll Kinderhaus Montessori School is an authentic Montessori school, following a curriculum designed by Maria Montessori and using Montessori-credentialed teachers primarily through the Association Montessori Internationale.

Instruction begins at 18 months and extends through 12 years (7th grade). Toddlers and preschool students attend school at the main campus in Pasadena; children in kindergarten and older grades attend school on the campus inLa Canada.

Each classroom is divided into areas of learning, such as Practical Life, Language, Sensorial, Mathematics, Art and Culture (including music), and Science.

Parent participation is required each month at Oak Knoll; parents can choose a variety of ways to get involved, including weekend painting projects, construction, materials preparation, or sewing items for classrooms. Children get lots of hands-on practice with daily activities, like snack preparation, watering plants, feeding classroom pets, and washing tables after meals.

Before- and after-school care is available.

Outdoor play and outdoor classroom time are important components of Oak Knoll's curriculum. The Lake Avenue campus has a dirt digging area, a garden courtyard, fruit trees, and a covered canopy that has misters in hot weather. The playground equipment is fairly basic, consisting of one climbing structure and slide.
