Children's House Preschool
Our Children’s House preschool and pre-K program lays a strong foundation for academic and social success by honoring each child’s natural drive to learn. In this mixed-age Montessori environment, children explore subjects like math, language, science, and geography through hands-on materials and individualized lessons. The daily routine also includes real-world activities—such as preparing snacks or watering plants - that build independence, confidence, and a sense of purpose. As they grow at their own pace, children develop critical thinking, leadership, empathy, and the skills they need to thrive in kindergarten and beyond. Full-Time tuition listed. Part-time and flexible scheduling options are also available. Contact this location for more details.
Spanish Immersion
Our Spanish Immersion program offers children the gift of bilingualism in a nurturing Montessori environment. Led by native Spanish-speaking guides, children are immersed in the language through daily routines, conversations, and hands-on learning—developing fluency with natural intonation and accent. Alongside Spanish language acquisition, children engage in a full academic curriculum including math, reading, writing, and practical life activities. This early exposure not only strengthens cognitive development but also opens the door to a lifetime of cultural, social, and professional possibilities. Full-Time tuition listed. Part-time and flexible scheduling options are also available. Contact this location for more details.
