Education in Human Values

Based on the universal human values of Love, Peace, Truth, Nonviolence, and Right Action, Kripa offers values education as part of the 3-6 curriculum. We focus on the child’s character and attitude, which define their personality and how they relate to the world around them.

Preschool Education Programs

In addition to daily programming, Kripa Montessori offers lots of opportunities for learning and fun. Some of these opportunities include:

  • Spanish, Hindi, STEAM, Music in 3-6 year classrooms
  • Library Visits and Field Trips
  • School wide movie days and presentations
  • Class holiday celebrations, including Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Independence Day, Hanukkah, Ramadan, and Diwali. (We encourage children to share new holidays or celebrations with their class!)
  • Special guest visits from the Police and Fire Departments, Magicians, Travelling Petting Zoos, Puppet Theaters, and much more.

Summer Programs

Summer days at Kripa are more relaxed with lots of fun activities. Children continue to learn while enjoying the best of summer. Summer programming includes longer recesses and outdoor sessions, weekly activities like swimming and gardening, monthly fun days, picnics, and field trips!

Past field trips have included Goebbert’s Pumpkin Farm, Pirate’s Cove, Bartlett Nature Center, Sonny Acres, Movie Theaters, Petting Zoos, Jump Zone, and Santa’s Village.
