Montessori of Plainfield Celebrates Kindergarten Graduation

Montessori of Plainfield just celebrated its Kindergarten Graduation, a monumental and
developmental milestone in each student's life. For three years the children have been
actively learning under the Montessori method, giving children the tools, they need for
success as they begin their grade school years. During the ceremony, each child gave a
speech about their experiences and what they are most looking forward to next year in
first grade.

"The day was emotional, but we all felt very proud of the children." said Mari-Ann Unger,
director of Montessori of Plainfield. "For three years we watched these amazing children
blossom with so much pride. They have developed into independent and eager learners,
so now it's time they spread their wings and tackle grade school with enthusiasm and
confidence," Unger continued.

Typically, Montessori of Plainfield students enroll at three years old and continue
through kindergarten, studying numerous subjects often taught in later years with
traditional education. For example, art appreciation and history, geography, biology,
chemistry, algebra and geometry are all subjects that children at Montessori of
Plainfield are exposed to from age three to kindergarten.

The formal graduation ceremony included a rose presentation to parents for giving the
children the gift of a Montessori education, self-written student speeches, a diploma
ceremony and concluded with a brunch at Prairie Bluff Country Club in Lockport.
Unger concluded, "On behalf of the entire staff of Montessori of Plainfield, we
congratulate the graduating class of 2019, and thank their families for their support."
