Our Programs

Toddler

Our Toddler classroom is designed for children typically between 18 months and 3 years old, supporting their first experiences in a school environment. Placement is based on each child’s development and readiness.

 

We focus on the whole child, with an emphasis on social-emotional development, language, practical life skills, and growing independence. Children are supported through daily routines like toileting, self-care, and learning how to be part of a community.

 

Our classroom offers a balance of freedom and structure, giving children space to explore while feeling safe, supported, and guided. Through hands-on Montessori materials and consistent routines, children build confidence, connection, and a strong foundation for future learning.

Primary

Our Primary classroom is designed for children typically ages 3 to 5. While most children enter around age 3, placement is based on readiness, and some younger children may join when it’s a good fit.

 

Children work at their own pace through hands-on Montessori materials in practical life, language, math, and sensorial work. Lessons are given individually and in small groups, allowing each child to be supported based on their unique development.

 

In our mixed-age classroom, children learn from one another, build social awareness, and grow in both leadership and collaboration. The environment is calm, engaging, and thoughtfully prepared so children can explore, focus, and take ownership of their learning.​

Our days follow a consistent and predictable rhythm, with flexibility to meet the needs of the children and the natural flow of the classroom.
