The curriculum offered is the “Montessori Method” for children ages 18 months old through 6 years old. At VFKH, an independent private and AMI accredited school, your child is nurtured through this method to continue to grow at his or her own developmentally appropriate pace within an individualized learning framework. Besides Language, Mathematics, Cultural Studies and Geography, the children also work with activities that develop and strengthen their muscular coordination, motor skills, concentration and enhance their sensory awareness. Students also have freedom of choice and many opportunities to develop their social skills. Whether your child is toddler, preschool, or kindergarten, VFKH provides the experience to grow and excel in each of these ways. Children leave VFKH well prepared academically, socially and emotionally.
