Toddler

The long term positive impact seeds of Montessori truly begin to take root at the Toddler age.

Primary

Learning revolves around tangible experiences. Practical life exercises like sorting, pouring, or washing dishes are introduced. Children also use concrete materials such as movable alphabets, cubes, cylinders, and other objects to learn. They learn to work together, with each others’ best interests in mind. This broad-based program allows children to explore a range of subjects and ideas: science and nature, music and movement, sensorial experiences, cooking and nutrition, cultural awareness, history; geography, language arts, and mathematics.

Toddlers

This is the time when children use their bodies, senses, and emerging problem-solving skills to learn about and make sense of their world in the ways most meaningful and effective for them. Our toddler educators give your toddler responsive, individualized attention to help build their skills. Activities range from the simple to the complex, with work areas arranged by subject. Montessori materials not typically found at other schools are used, as children choose activities based on their own interests. We focus on sensory and perception; self-help; language; physical and motor skills; social and emotional growth. We’re also here when you need us. Ask your school about flexible enrollment options to fit your family’s schedule.

Montessori Preschool Program

At Woodpark, we teach our preschoolers about the world around them through hands–on participation at their own pace! We believe that preschoolers should be given time to experience education and understand concepts in a way that makes sense to them.

Our program is geared towards children ages 6 weeks through 16 months. We have a caring and devoted staff who create a comforting environment for our infants. Our unique approach to learning starts with even our youngest children. In our infant room, we begin early sign language and flash card use.

Preschool Program

Our preschool program offers a nurturing, play-based environment for children ages 3-5. Our evidence-based curriculum builds focus and resilience for success in kindergarten and beyond. Preschoolers receive onsite screenings, therapy, free meals, parent-child activities and library access.

Preschool

Your preschooler is beginning to connect letters, sounds and numbers, expanding their world through reading and math. They’re building critical-thinking skills, early physical fitness and an understanding of nutrition. Our teachers support that learning and encourage your child to think in new and different ways.

Preschool Pathways

Our Preschool Pathways program provides a “bridge” between our Early Preschool and Preschool classrooms for children whose birthdays will miss the cutoff date for kindergarten entrance.
