OPM @ Central PPKOkemos Montessori PPKOkemos Public Montessori School continues the tradition of individualized learning that encompasses all aspects of the child: social, emotional, physical, and academic. In keeping with Okemos Public Schools commitment to education, the PPK (pre-preliminary kindergarten) meets each child at his or her developmental level. Through patient observation and respectful interaction, the inner child is revealed to the teacher. The classroom is uniquely designed to provide opportunities for children to build independence, concentration, and self-awareness. Maria Montessori once stated "free choice is one of the highest of all the mental processes." This is particularly true in a Montessori classroom. This freedom is developed through thoughtful, sensible, and sensitive interaction. PPK students learn alongside the kindergarteners until 12:00. Then Enrichment takes over until 3:50 pm. Together with student's parents, our mission is to provide each child with the opportunities needed to become a creative, intelligent, and respectful addition to our community. Okemos Public Montessori's program is aligned with the American Montessori Society philosophy.School Year 2026-2027 Okemos Montessori PPK Site -
