Our Programs
Toddlers (18 mo. - 3 years)
Montessori Infant & Toddler programs provide a unique curriculum driven by your child’s emerging skills and interests. Our certified teachers use daily observation to introduce stimulating new materials, fostering curiosity and learning. Key early learning objectives include developing language, concentration, problem-solving, visual discrimination, and physical coordination—essential Montessori skills.
Practical life activities form the core foundation, promoting independence, order, and concentration. This approach actively supports your child’s holistic social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.
Primary (3 through 6)
Montessori Early Childhood Education (Ages 3–6) fosters independent, self-directed learners. Our program encourages preschoolers to explore, collaborate, and take ownership of their education, promoting self-confidence, critical thinking, and independence.
A core element is Education for Peace and social justice. We cultivate global citizenship by teaching conflict resolution and deep respect for all people and living things. Choose Montessori for holistic social-emotional and intellectual growth.
Elementary
Montessori Elementary (6-12) offers an individually paced curriculum that expertly balances academic challenge with child well-being. Students become contributing members of a respectful community, developing critical thinking and self-directed learning skills essential for future success.
This program builds on the core Montessori principle that children learn best through movement and hands-on work. It provides crucial cognitive, social, and emotional support to help every child reach their full potential.
