Infant Program
(Ages: 6 weeks to 18 months)
Our Infant class provides an environment specifically suited to the developmental needs of very young children to become more self-sufficient and capable by following the directives of Dr. Maria Montessori’s philosophy. Dr. Montessori had a special vision for the very young child, and we manifest this in our infant program. Materials and equipment are specifically designed to help little muscles develop coordination, helping the child gain independence and self-esteem. In the Infant classroom the teacher’s job is to closely observe the child and present appropriate activities according to the needs of the child (Sensitive Period). One of the most important roles of a Montessori Directness is to adjust to the infants’ changing needs and help infants make an easy transition from one developmental stage to another. Teachers in the infant classroom either hold a Montessori teacher’s diploma or have an early childhood background with teaching experience.
Toddler Program
(Ages: 18 months to 3 years)
Our Toddler program is designed to provide the tools for children to do things on their own. We provide materials that support our students’ need for independence as well as their physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development. This environment promotes the child to grow and develop according to his own potential and is self paced. Our highly trained teachers focus on providing meaningful activities that promote and allow exploration, movement, concentration, fine & gross motor development, language, and order. These activities and experiences are the foundation for their future academic success. Teachers in the toddler classroom either hold a Montessori teacher’s diploma or have an early childhood background with teaching experience.
Primary Program
(Ages: 3 years - 5 years)
Primary classrooms are specifically designed to focus on the individuality of each child in respect of their needs and talents, as opposed to the needs of the class as a whole. We foster the process of self-creation by providing an environment in which the child can develop independently at his or her own pace while still gaining those social, physical, intellectual and emotional skills needed to function at best in society. Montessori believes that all children have within them their future self. For them to develop to their utmost potential, freedom to choose activities within an environment especially designed to help them fulfill their needs is essential. The Montessori curriculum, techniques and materials satisfy the natural tendency for this age. Independence, coordination, order, and concentration are developed through the materials. The children learn through doing, experiencing the joy of individual discovery and mastery on their own terms, at their own speed.

The Montessori Method
Dr. Maria Montessori - Biography
Maria Montessori was an Italian physician and educator, a noted humanitarian and devout Catholic best known for the philosophy of education, which bears her name. Her educational method is in use today in public and private schools throughout the world. Maria Montessori was born in Chiaravalle, Italy, on August 31, 1870.
She graduated from medical school in 1896 and went on to become one of the first female physicians in Italy. While working as a medical doctor her observations led her to analyze how children learn. She recognized that children are a product of their environment and strived to understand more. She returned to school in 1901 to study psychology and philosophy. Upon graduation, Maria Montessori began teaching Anthropology at the University of Rome, but her desire to work with children was so great that she gave up her university position and medical practice to work in San Lorenzo district of Rome with a group of 60 children of working parents.
On January 6, 1907, Maria Montessori founded the first Casa Dei Bambini, or "Children's House" and began developing the Montessori Method of education. The Montessori method of education is based on Maria Montessori's scientific observations of the children at Casa Dei Bambini.
Maria Montessori deduced that children teach themselves through tireless manipulation of materials and absorb information constantly. This motivated her lifelong pursuit of educational reform, teaching and educator training.
