Toddler Program (Ages 18 Months-3 Years):
The Toddler Program develops young children through 
a scientifically prepared environment. Everything in
the room is child-sized to encourage independence
and exploration. Using all five senses, toddlers develop
language, art, music, and practical life skills. Through
song and dance, they are free to jump, climb, balance,
crawl and skip. Building the child’s self-esteem is the
ultimate goal.
“Even we, her own parents, didn’t really believe that our 15-month–old
daughter would be pouring her own drinks, setting her own place at
the table and washing her own dishes! We were wrong. Montessori has
changed the way that we respect and treat children. Each child has a
potential to grow and to learn beyond the limits that we set for them,
if we only allow them the space and the independence to do so.”
- Erin Weliver, parent of 2-year-old
Early Childhood Program (Ages 3-6 Years):
Preschoolers possess what Dr. Montessori called the
“absorbent mind” - the ability to absorb all aspects of 
their culture and environment without effort. Through
practical activities such as food preparation, children
develop concentration and muscular coordination.
By touching, seeing, smelling, tasting, listening and
exploring their environment, they build cognitive skills
and learn to order and classify their observations.
They gain a solid understanding of basic mathematical
principles by manipulating concrete materials,
preparing them for later abstract reasoning and
problem solving. Conversations, stories and poetry
foster language development in the form of both
written expression and reading skills. Children learn
about people and cultures in other countries with
an attitude of respect and admiration. Lessons and
experiences with nature inspire a reverence for all life.
“My husband and I asked Olivia how her day at school was. She
replied that they learned about the planets and then named every
one! Olivia even said Pluto is now a moon – not a planet! We were
speechless. She is learning more than we imagined.”
- Doug & Jennifer Bognar, parents of 4-year-old
