Our School
Programs
For Infants
Our Montessori program for infants offers a beautiful, sunlit, spacious environment that is custom designed for infants, utterly safe, and alive with responsiveness to their explorations.
Within this safe harbor, they enjoy freedom of movement to discover and interact, all the while developing gross motor skills like grasping, reaching, and climbing.
For Pre-Primary
Our Pre-Primary program provides a carefully prepared environment to aid the pre-primary student in achieving independence.
Our pre-primary community accommodates sixteen children — and based on our observations and expertise, we’ve adjusted the real-world ratio to three adults; one lead teacher and two assistants.
In this setting the children come to feel the classroom is their own peaceful, special space where they play a meaningful role in their own care and the care of their classroom environment.
The classroom is carefully prepared to meet the unique needs of this age. All furniture is a size that allows maximum independence and the pre-primary materials are designed to be attractive and inviting to the children.
For Primary
Dr. Maria Montessori characterized the Primary child at this age as having “an absorbent mind,” soaking up knowledge automatically. As a result of this natural tendency, she felt that children learn most happily and productively through independent work in an environment that has been specially prepared to meet their developmental needs.
Our Primary program offers a prepared environment filled with activities which are attractive and interesting to children and which give them clear messages on how to succeed. Teachers design work which builds eye-hand coordination, concentration, manual dexterity and self-reliance.
For Elementary
Our Elementary program supports the emerging student as they enter new developmental phases filled with wonder, interest, and active enthusiasm.
By sparking imagination and following students’ passion, teachers create an environment that allows children to thrive academically, as well as develop a sense of belonging in the classroom and community.
For Toddlers
Our Montessori program for Toddlers lays the critical foundation for the learning individual each child will become as they advance in their development.
Activities are purposefully designed to develop a sense of wonder, natural curiosity, large and fine motor skills, self-esteem, social skills, and cognitive processes.

Information
_____________ __________ _______
Our philosophy is rooted in the Montessori Method, a result of the experience and discoveries of devoted scientist and insatiable learner, Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952).
We believe in peace, discovery, and development creating a holistic and supportive environment for the growth of each and every child.
Skills of independence, self-discipline, problem-solving and a secure foundation of early academic knowledge develop spontaneously within a Montessori environment. Students are able to think critically, work collaboratively, and act boldly — a skill set for the 21st century.
