Early Childhood Education
Our Early Childhood Division serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 2nd grade, offering a warm and engaging environment that nurtures curiosity and early academic development. Classrooms emphasize independence, hands-on learning, and foundational literacy and numeracy skills.
We welcome Pre-K students beginning at age 3. This full-day, Montessori-based program follows the school calendar and offers rolling admissions. Mixed-age classrooms allow children to learn at their own pace while building confidence, collaboration, and leadership. Students also enjoy weekly Music, Art, and Physical Education, along with daily rest time.
Kindergarten provides a smooth transition into the next stage of learning. While no longer strictly Montessori, it remains student-centered, joyful, and developmentally appropriate. Students strengthen early reading, math, and science skills through play, creativity, and collaborative activities, helping them build academic readiness and a genuine love of learning.
