Step Ahead Kindergarten vs. Meeting House Montessori School

Step Ahead Kindergarten is an innovative science-based program located at the First Congregational Church in Braintree.

We incorporate a comfortable environment that eases the child into an academic situation that includes a strong phonics agenda and an effective math program.

Other activities range from daily arts and crafts, number games, reading rediness skills, story telling, role playing, poetry, dance, sports and music.

Our school boasts a maximum class size of 15 children with two teachers.

The low student to teacher ratio allows for individualized attention required to make this year a special one.

Meeting House Montessori is a preschool and elementary school serving the needs of children between the ages of 2.9-6 and 6-12 years, respectively.

We offer part day, full day, as well as before and after school care programs.

The mission of the Meeting House Montessori School is to prepare learning environments for children between the ages of 2.9 and 12 years that will aid in their natural development.

This includes creating environments where trust, respect, responsibility, community and cooperation can flourish; nurturing the social, emotional, and cognitive developmental needs for each child individually; respecting the rights of children as independent beings; providing a place where children are heard and given the opportunity for self-expression; creating challenging and safe environments; and giving each child the tools necessary for him or her to realize his or her full potential.
