Are you looking for a child-centered environment that prepares children for greatness? If you are considering a Montessori education, what are the core principles you are looking for? A Montessori education provides the following:

1. Prepared Environment: Classrooms feature low shelves, child-sized furniture, and specific tactile materials that invite independent exploration.

2. Mixed-Age Groupings: Children are typically grouped in multi-year spans (such as ages 3 to 6), allowing older kids to mentor younger peers.

3.Self-Directed Work: Students pick their own activities based on personal interest and engage in long, uninterrupted blocks of work time.

4. No Traditional Grades: The focus is on the overall social, emotional, and cognitive growth of the whole child rather than test scores or letter grades. (AMS, 2026)

We provide a calm, consistent, and caring environment for infants ages 6 weeks to 16 months! Infants are on their own schedule and ask that our new families provide a schedule for feeding and napping! We provide crib sheets, bibs, spoons and bowls for feeding. Montessori materials line the shelves in our play space and our ball pit is always a hit! For more information about our full-time or part-time program, contact us today at [email protected].
