Programs for Every Age and Stage
Our classrooms are structured around your child’s developmental stage. We offer:

A peaceful, nurturing environment where the youngest learners engage with sounds, textures, language, and movement. Teachers build strong routines that help babies and toddlers feel secure and confident.
Two-Year-Old Program
Children explore independence through practical life work, early socialization, and motor development. They learn to pour, paint, climb, sing, and communicate — all with gentle teacher guidance.
Primary & Extended Programs (Ages 3–6)
Our mixed-age classrooms allow preschoolers to progress at their own pace through hands-on lessons in math, reading, geography, and science. This setting promotes leadership, cooperation, and confidence.
Every program reflects Montessori’s core principles: freedom within limits, respect for the child, and learning through meaningful work.
