growing strong roots
Infants
We begin accepting children at 3 months into our infant program. Infants spend their days interacting with their caregivers and peers, and exploring their environment with plenty of opportunities for unhindered movement. Ample time is provided for uninterrupted play, with a variety of open-ended materials. Children develop self-confidence at a young age by engaging in their caregiving routines and receiving respectful and personalized care from their caregivers. Infants explore our outdoor environment when the weather allows, and participate in our music curriculum on a daily basis.
Toddlers
Toddlers transition into the toddler class between 12 months and 18 months. Our toddlers spend their days engaging in a large variety of activities. Materials are rooted in the development of language, motor skills, sensorial exploration, and order. Children are encouraged to participate in classroom routines and gain independence through self-care. The toddler's days are enriched through the encouragement of their natural exploration and discovery. Elements from nature, messy art, and project based learning are all aspects of a child's day. Toilet learning is a large component of our curriculum. Our daily routine includes ample time for music, art, and outdoor play.
Preschool (Primary)
Children can start in our Primary classrooms between the age of 2.5 and 3 years old. Preschoolers engage in a specially designed environment with traditional Montessori materials that introduce the basic concepts of writing, reading, math, science, geography, and much more. Children participate in activities that build self-confidence and independence, as well as social skills and a love of learning. Practical life materials are provided so that children are encouraged to care for themselves and their environment. Preschool children are introduced to the wonderful world around them, and study all aspects of their environment by choosing topics that are engaging for them. Every preschooler's education is personalized and caters to their own unique personality.
