3. Hands-on learning – Montessori classrooms use specialized materials that encourage exploration and problem-solving.

4. Supports social development – Mixed-age classrooms allow younger children to learn from older peers while older children develop leadership skills.

5. Fosters a lifelong love of learning – The approach emphasizes curiosity, concentration, and intrinsic motivation.

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].
