Our boutique Montessori preschool and kindergarten program reflects our commitment to whole child well-being and family-centered learning. In order to provide highly personalized and meaningful experiences, we typically enroll no more than ten children per class. In addition to a low student to teacher ratio, this creates a sense of community uncommon in traditional preschools. Classes are led by credentialed Montessori teachers. We are committed to the philosophy, its principles and advancement of the Method; however, we also believe in a balanced and inclusive approach to education. We tailor our curriculum to meet the needs of diverse families and 21st century children, especially those in our learning community.
