Our Classrooms

Preschool & Jr. Kindergarten

Ages 3-5

Our holistic approach to early childhood education thoughtfully weaves together Montessori, Piaget, Reggio, Gardner, and arts-based philosophies to nurture children’s social, emotional, intellectual, physical, and character development. Through our ateliers, children enjoy a distinctive and consistent learning experience that deepens their understanding as they engage in rich educational explorations and creative, play-based experimentation in both academics and the arts. By emphasizing higher-order thinking skills, balancing right- and left-brain activities, and applying Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences theory, we help children build a strong foundation for success in school and in life. At Kinderhouse Westland, our highly qualified and dedicated educators carefully guide and support each child’s growth, while our aesthetically designed classrooms serve as an inspiring “third teacher,” enhancing every aspect of their learning journey.
