Montessori Curriculum
At Joy Montessori School, our mission is to ensure that every child leaves our program not only prepared for kindergarten but equipped with the skills and mindset to thrive in all areas of life. We take pride in nurturing confident, curious, and capable learners who are ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities of their educational journey with joy and enthusiasm. Join us in laying the foundation for your child’s bright future.
Building Strong Foundations in Reading and Math
At Joy Montessori, we use a hands-on approach to teach early reading and math skills. Children explore letters and numbers through interactive activities, such as tracing sandpaper letters and counting with beads, which build a deep understanding of foundational concepts. By the time they enter kindergarten, our students are often ahead in recognizing sounds, words, and basic math operations.
Developing Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills
Our Montessori environment encourages children to think independently and solve problems creatively. We provide materials and challenges that promote logical thinking, spatial awareness, and decision-making. This early exposure to critical thinking equips them with the tools to tackle complex tasks in kindergarten and beyond with confidence.
Fostering Social and Emotional Growth
In our mixed-age classrooms, children learn to interact with peers of different ages, developing empathy, patience, and strong communication skills. Through group activities and collaborative projects, they practice teamwork and conflict resolution. These social-emotional skills are essential for adapting to the structured social environment of kindergarten.
Encouraging Independence and Self-Motivation
We empower children to take charge of their own learning by offering choices within a prepared environment. They learn to set goals, manage time, and complete tasks independently. This sense of responsibility and self-motivation helps them transition smoothly to kindergarten, where they are expected to follow routines and manage their work with less direct supervision.
Cultivating a Love for Learning
At Joy Montessori, we believe that a child’s early years should be filled with joyful exploration and discovery. By allowing children to pursue their interests and learn at their own pace, we cultivate a genuine love for learning. This intrinsic motivation is a key factor in their long-term academic success, as they enter kindergarten with a positive attitude towards education.
Mastering Fine Motor Skills for Writing and Everyday Tasks
Through activities like pouring, threading, and using tweezers, our students develop fine motor skills that are essential for writing, cutting, and other kindergarten tasks. By the time they reach kindergarten, they are comfortable with holding a pencil, forming letters, and managing daily tasks like buttoning and zipping, which boosts their confidence in a new environment.
Parent Reviews

We all, as parents, aspire to have good foundation for our little pre schoolers along with special care, love and patience. We wanted our daughter's early education through Montessori method and at the same time we wanted to have that personal care for her. We are so glad we chose JMS for that. Ms. Santoshi has amazing bond with kids. Its not just Language or Math, We saw improvement in our daughter's cognitive development in 2 years of her time at JMS.
There were online classes during pandemic and we were skeptical that our 3 and half year old will sit for even 15 minutes but Ms. Santoshi is so dedicated that she even took a few one on one classes to make her adjust with the new way of learning.
Ms. Santoshi's way of teaching is tailored to kids need and that in our opinion is the heart of Montessori education. Having our daughter mixed with different age of other kids boosted her academic development which made her feel confident while going in public school. We are so thankful to Ms. Santoshi and we absolutely recommend Joy Montessori School based on our personal experience.

One of the best things one could give to their child's early education is Joy Montessori. we are very happy in making this decision. one of the best experience I could share is within 4 months my son was able to read 3 letter word books , the interest what Miss.Santoshi shows in each and concept / thing can't be explained in words , infact one should experience that. Not only the teacher teaching but eventually my child even developed the interest to study and focus which is what as a parent we expect, understanding the child and teaching them is not everyone does , but Miss.Santoshi can only do that. Thank you is a very small word but still I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being my child teacher and mentor.

To bring my son to JMS was one of the best decision which we took .It's been a year already and he has come a long way . How much these little minds can grasp at this age I am amazed . With one more year to go I can assure they all will be little Einstein. Ready to explore with there knowledge and confidence. This all is due to Mrs. Santoshi knowledge,love and care . She's so amazing full of spirit and knows her way to discipline and educate kids. Parents seeking a school which gives a great foundation to begin with should visit Joy Montessori School !!
