Our full-day kindergarten program strengthens the intellectual and social development of our students through exciting lessons and activities, led by our kindergarten teacher, Ms. Mocogni.
From Ms. Mocgni-
I am so excited to join the Montini family as the new kindergarten teacher! I had the opportunity to attend Montini from preschool-8th grade. I attended Marian Central Catholic High School and recently graduated from Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa. I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education. My experiences at Loras, as well as at Montini and Marian Central, will guide me through this amazing year teaching Montini's kindergarten students. Looking forward to all the learning and fun that we will have!
With our full-day kindergarten program, longer days allow more time to focus on core subjects such as reading, writing, and math, providing structure and preparing students for elementary school by fostering academic excellence and a love of learning!
