5 days per week Montessori program
For children aged 3 – 6 years
Our program recognizes, supports and focuses on the child’s developmental aspect in this age group, as he/she experiences a significant growth in independence, self-esteem and self-discipline, through introduction to the basics of academics.
The prepared environment promotes increased independence and active participation in the learning process. With the help of Montessori materials the child is able to progress at his/her own pace. The expression of each child’s unique personality is encouraged and each child is respected as an important member of the classroom community. Individualized and group instruction is received in an atmosphere of cooperation and non-competitiveness.
Music, songs and dance round out our program and are taught regularly by our talented teachers.

Extended Day – Kindergarten
5 days per week Montessori program
For children aged 2 1/2 – 6 years
The foundation of a Montessori education begins within the 2 ½ – 6 pre-school and extended day learning environment. It is during this stage of development that children require opportunities that will promote independence, allow for spontaneous activity, and encourage exploration. Maria Montessori observed that children of this age group are naturally attracted to activities that aid their individual self-construction. The materials and activities we present to the children allow for concrete manipulation, so that learning is relevant and meaningful. Here is a list of the main features of a Montessori pre-school environment:
- The Prepared Environment: Materials which invite activity and exploration
- Practical Life: The skills of daily living
- Sensorial: Exploring the world through ones senses
- Mathematics: Explored with concrete materials, understood through abstraction
- Language: From spoken word to reading, writing and creative expression
- Cultural Subjects: Broadly based and cross disciplinary
- Art, Music: Fully integrated into the curriculum
- Working Outdoors: The natural environment
Music, songs and dance round out our program and are taught regularly by our talented teachers.
