​"Education is the most powerful weapon which   you can use to change the world". Nelson Mandela
Infant Program: 3 Weeks to 18 Months
​

Our Infant Program provides a nurturing, responsive, and developmentally rich environment for our youngest learners, beginning as early as three weeks old through eighteen months. At this delicate and foundational stage, our focus is on building security, trust, and early curiosity through consistent care and meaningful interactions.

Each infant receives individualized attention tailored to their natural rhythms for feeding, sleeping, and play. Our trained caregivers closely observe developmental cues, supporting each child’s physical, emotional, and cognitive growth at their own pace. Soft sensory materials, age-appropriate activities, and gentle routines encourage early exploration and help infants strengthen motor skills, communication, and emerging independence.

The classroom is designed with safety, comfort, and calm in mind—welcoming spaces for tummy time, movement, cuddles, and early socialization. Families receive ongoing communication so that care at school aligns with routines at home, creating a seamless, reassuring experience for both child and parent.

Our goal is to provide a warm, loving environment where infants feel secure, supported, and free to discover the world around them. Each child’s unique needs are honored, helping them build a strong foundation for growth throughout their early years.

Toddler & Early Preschool Program: 19 to 42 Months
​

Our Toddler and Early Preschool Program supports children from 19 to 42 months as they grow rapidly in independence, language, social development, and curiosity. At this stage, children are eager to explore, communicate, and engage with the world around them, and our environment is carefully prepared to nurture these emerging abilities.

Our classrooms are designed to encourage hands-on learning, movement, and purposeful play. Children learn through structured activities and open-ended exploration—building early math, language, practical life, and problem-solving skills. Materials are accessible and child-sized, allowing children to make choices, practice self-help routines, and develop confidence in their growing abilities.

Teachers guide children with patience and intentionality, offering individualized support that respects each child’s pace and personality. Social-emotional development is emphasized through modeled kindness, cooperation, and communication, helping children navigate friendships, express needs, and build self-regulation skills.

Daily routines provide comfort and predictability, including circle time, music, creative art, outdoor play, and quiet rest periods. As children grow more independent, they begin to take part in simple responsibilities, developing pride and ownership in their environment.

Our goal is to foster confident, curious, and capable young learners—preparing them for a smooth transition into preschool and beyond.

Preschool & Kindergarten Readiness Program: 43 Months and Older
​

Our Preschool and Kindergarten Readiness Program is designed for children 43 months and older who are ready for more advanced learning, independence, and social development. At this stage, children are eager thinkers, creative problem-solvers, and highly curious about how the world works. Our classrooms provide a rich, engaging environment that supports their growing abilities while honoring each child’s unique pace.

Children work with hands-on, purposefully designed materials that promote early literacy, numeracy, practical life skills, sensory exploration, and creative expression. Teachers introduce more structured lessons while still maintaining the Montessori emphasis on choice, independence, and self-directed learning. This approach helps build confidence, concentration, and intrinsic motivation.

Social-emotional growth is a central focus. Children practice collaboration, communication, leadership, and conflict resolution in a supportive environment that encourages kindness and respect. Group activities—such as circle time, music, movement, nature study, and art—foster community while reinforcing daily routines and shared responsibility.

Our goal is to prepare each child academically, socially, and emotionally for a smooth transition into kindergarten and beyond. By cultivating independence, curiosity, and confidence, we help each child develop the foundational skills needed for a lifetime of learning.
