Hours & Transitioning

We are open from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm. Once your child is a confident walker, they can transition to our Toddler Program, focusing on independence and social skills.

As your child grows and becomes a confident walker, our program evolves with them. Our toddler environment prepares students for a seamless transition into our Private Montessori Preschool Program.
