Our Programs
Infants & Toddlers (6 weeks – 3 years)
From the very beginning, our Montessori Infant and Toddler program provides a gentle, nurturing environment where children feel safe and cared for. At this stage, teachers support early independence through sensory exploration, gross and fine motor skills in movement, and meaningful routines. Montessori Stepping Stones offers part-time and full-time daycare services. Check out our Half-Day Montessori Toddler Classes program!
Preschool (Pre-K) & Kindergarten (3 – 6 years)
As children grow, they enter our Montessori Preschool (Pre-K) and Kindergarten program, where curiosity becomes the driving force of learning. Classrooms promote hands-on exploration, problem-solving, and early academic readiness.
Elementary (1st – 6th Grade)
During the elementary years, children expand their knowledge through a rich curriculum that blends academics with creativity and collaboration – including our Spanish program. In our Montessori Elementary program, teachers individualize lessons so each child progresses at their own pace while developing critical thinking and leadership skills.
Middle School (7th – 8th Grade)
As students enter adolescence, our Montessori Middle School program provides the guidance and independence they need to flourish. The curriculum integrates academics with real-world projects, leadership opportunities, and personal responsibility. Through this balance, middle schoolers gain the skills, resilience, and maturity necessary for high school and beyond.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a student-centered, authentic Montessori environment where children, families, and educators feel supported. We aim to help each child build confidence and trust in their own abilities while maximizing their unique learning potential. Through curiosity, exploration, and hands-on discovery, students develop a lifelong love of learning.
