Infants: Ages 6 Weeks – 18 Months
Our infant or “Nido” (meaning “nest”) room is a peaceful, nurturing environment carefully designed following Maria Montessori’s principles. We believe the Montessori program should begin at birth because this is when the child feels the unconscious passion and desire to learn through the environment.
Toddlers: Ages 2–3 Years
Our Toddler environment supports the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development of each child. Toddlers strengthen speech, language, fine and gross motor skills as they explore self, family, and the world in which they live.
Primary: Ages 3–6 Years
Responsive, individualized attention in five key curriculum areas that build a strong foundation for all future learning.
Practical Life
Activities bridging home and school — care of self, care of environment, grace & courtesy, and exercises of movement. Builds coordination, concentration, and responsibility.
Sensorial
Scientifically designed materials that develop reasoning, focused attention, and a stable mind through active manipulation and exploration.
Language
Phonetic sounds, Movable Alphabet, and writing exercises that nurture children’s natural, enthusiastic interest in expression and literacy.
Math
Concrete Golden Beads and hands-on materials that progress to abstract work with the four operations, squaring, and cubing — inspiring deep mathematical understanding.
Cultural Studies
Continents, countries, and states via puzzle maps; art, music, and cultural celebrations that build awareness of our diverse world.
Enrichment Programs & Summer Camp
