Our early childhood program, designed for children 3 – 6 years old, uses the Montessori Method led by a certified Montessori educator. The classroom provides rich experiences in Practical Life, Sensory, Language, Mathematics, and Geography/Culture through a carefully structured and inviting environment. We also take advantage of outdoor space with experiences in natural exploration, gardening, and care of environment.

Montessori is a philosophy and method of education that facilitates the natural learning process and empowers children to take control of their learning. Specially trained Montessori guides are responsible for preparing an environment that fosters self-directed child exploration and discovery. They are also witnesses to the natural development of a child.

The Montessori method is unique in that it is children led and not teacher instructed. This offers children freedom in their learning and ensures children are exposed to multiple ways of learning at their own pace. This methodology encourages independence, self motivation and self control. Children are placed into mixed age groups to allow them the opportunity to be role models and to learn to work together with peers, fostering respect and kindness. Montessori has been built on decades of methodical study into how children develop and learn.
