6 programs, one center.

Each program is built for what that age can do next.

Programs by age

6 Weeks to 18 Months

Infant and Toddler Programs

In the Infant and Toddler room, the earliest years get a thoughtfully prepared Montessori environment. Your child is seen, supported, and celebrated through first smiles and first steps. Infants move, reach, and begin to explore. Toddlers build early independence. Each child's pace is honored here, not rushed.

18 MONTHS TO 3 YEARS* *by September 1

Toddler Program

Toddlerhood is a time of extraordinary growth. Children move more, communicate more, and notice more. They begin to say, in so many ways, "I can do it. " The room supports that growing independence with warmth, structure, and intention. Hands-on materials and freedom to choose let toddlers practice doing things themselves, again and again.

Ages 3-6

Primary Program

Primary is more than preschool. Over three years, children develop independence, concentration, early academic foundations, and social confidence. They work with concrete materials in mixed-age classrooms, moving from novice to practicer to mentor. This three-year span covers preschool, pre-K, and kindergarten, building a strong foundation for what comes next.

Ages 6 to 9

Lower Elementary

Lower Elementary blends individualized instruction, hands-on materials, and intellectually rich projects. Children ages 6 to 9 move well beyond grade-level expectations without the pressure of a traditional, competitive environment. Lessons meet each child where they are, so students can stretch in the areas that pull them and return to skills that need more time.

Ages 9 to 12

Upper Elementary

In Upper Elementary, students deepen academic skills, independence, and curiosity through a personalized, inquiry-based curriculum. Ages 9 to 12 build the confidence, collaboration, and critical thinking they will carry into middle school. Projects ask them to investigate, discuss, and present their own thinking rather than simply repeat what they heard.

Ages 5 to 6

Kindergarten

Kindergarten is a year of leadership. Children become classroom leaders, take part in new special subjects, and meet weekly with a reading specialist. It sits at the end of the three-year Primary span, so much of the year is spent consolidating what they already know and stretching into new work with confidence.
