Services
Montessori Preschool
Our Montessori Preschool provides structured, child-led learning for ages 2-6. Using specialized materials and mixed-age classrooms, we cultivate independence, creativity, and foundational academic skills through practical life activities, sensorial exploration, and language development. Our approach nurtures cognitive, social, and emotional growth in a supportive environment.
Full Year Programs
Full-year enrollment operates September to August, offering continuity for children's development. With three-day, five-day, full-time, and part-time options, our programs accommodate diverse family schedules while maintaining consistent educational progress and social engagement throughout the year.
Daycare Program
The Daycare Program supports working parents with care from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Before and after Montessori classes, children engage in free play and extracurricular activities including art, music, dance, and sports in a non-academic setting that complements their structured learning.
Sensorial Exercises
Sensorial Exercises refine children's senses through tactile, visual, auditory, and olfactory materials. These activities develop cognitive skills by teaching classification, comparison, and discrimination, forming a foundation for mathematical thinking and scientific observation through hands-on exploration.
STEM Activities
STEM Activities integrate science, technology, engineering, and math concepts into Montessori learning. Through age-appropriate experiments, building projects, and problem-solving challenges, children develop critical thinking skills and curiosity about the natural world in an engaging, collaborative environment.
