School Age

To us, it feels like our infants are running off to Kindergarten in the blink of an eye. Thankfully, we have the opportunity of continuing to care for our students and watch them grow even after they go off to Kindergarten in our School-Age Classrooms! In our school-age classrooms, we encourage our students to continue their social and academic development; before and after school, in the summer, and on days when their schools are closed. From field trips to fun daily activities, our students are engaged and excited during their time in our school-age program! Curious about transportation? We have you covered! Talk to your enrollment specialist or Director to learn more about the schools that we serve in your area.

Kindergarten

Our Montessori kindergarten program has been a cornerstone since 2008, preparing children for academic success through leadership development and advanced skill-building in math, reading, and writing. Graduates consistently excel in mainstream schools, often placing in accelerated programs. We offer both half-day and full-day options, with half-day requiring one prior year in our preschool. This crucial year allows children to integrate years of hands-on learning, reaching new levels of independence and academic mastery before first grade.
