What are some key features of our Montessori preschool program?
In our Preschool Classroom (ages 3-5), children thrive in a nurturing environment designed to foster independence, exploration, and a love for learning. Key features of our program include:
- Uninterrupted Work Time: A dedicated period where children engage deeply with lessons and materials without unnecessary interruptions.
- Child-Led Learning: Students take initiative, selecting from a wide array of curriculum materials to explore their interests and expand their knowledge.
- Multi-Age Community: Older students act as mentors and role models, a role they embrace with pride, enriching the classroom dynamic.
- Rich, Hands-On Curriculum: Children delve into subjects like math, science (including botany and zoology), reading, writing, music, art, geography, and cultural studies.
Our approach is grounded in the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori. We recognize the significance of the absorbent mind, a unique stage from birth to age six when children effortlessly absorb knowledge and experiences from their environment. During this time, children experience sensitive periods – windows of opportunity for mastering skills like language, movement, and social interactions with remarkable ease.

What Parents Are Saying
“I have two daughters that attended Montessori since they were infants. The oldest is now 5. This school is amazing! Small class sizes and immersive learning styles teach them how to be engaged in what they are doing. We recently were able to sit in on a class for an hour, and it’s so cute seeing them all get to work on projects they decide to do and have a snack when they want to. They are very independent while getting valuable lessons. My five-year-old, has just started kindergarten, knows continents, and some individual countries, learning simple math, sounding out words, and so much more..”
