Montessori materials, Spanish enrichment, and inquiry-based lessons that prepare children for school and life.
The Montessori primary classroom is designed for children aged 3 to 6 years old, encompassing both preschool and kindergarten. During this sensitive period for learning, children are highly receptive to new information and experiences. Our program is tailored to meet the developmental needs of this age group, providing a stimulating, child-centered environment that fosters exploration, experimentation, and self-discovery.
The Montessori primary classroom is meticulously designed to cater to the developmental stages of young children. It is divided into specific learning areas that encourage cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth through a variety of activities. This setup allows children to engage in hands-on learning, enhancing their ability to learn through doing.
Our Montessori primary curriculum is flexible and adaptable, tailored to each child’s unique needs and learning style. This approach enables children to work at their own pace and achieve their full potential, laying a strong foundation for future academic success and personal growth.

Curriculum Areas:
The child-centered Montessori curriculum focuses on hands-on learning, exploration, and self-discovery, adapting to each child’s needs and learning style.
One of the primary goals of our program is to prepare children for kindergarten. This significant educational transition involves adapting to new structures, expectations, and routines. Our program ensures that children are well-equipped to succeed in kindergarten and beyond, providing them with the skills and confidence they need.
Montessori classrooms feature mixed-age groups, allowing younger children to learn from older peers who act as role models and tutors. This setup ensures that each child learns at their own pace while benefiting from the mentorship of older classmates. Teachers observe and guide this process, fostering a collaborative and supportive learning environment.
Inquiry-based learning engages students in hands-on, interactive, and collaborative activities that explore real-world problems and questions. This approach emphasizes that learning is an active process, encouraging students to ask questions, make observations, and test hypotheses. Activities may include conducting experiments, collecting data, analyzing evidence, and developing solutions.
You won’t see an insect graduating from college anytime soon, but insects can learn. Insects use memories to change their behaviors. Honeybees memorize flight routes and communicate with dance routines.! Where do insects go to learn?
As a group, spiders eat more bugs than any other creature. Spiders play a crucial role in helping to control harmful insects in our gardens and our homes. They protect human health by eliminating disease-carrying insects such as mosquitoes and fleas. Read More
Our Montessori primary classroom welcomes children aged 3 to 6 years old, encompassing both preschool and kindergarten. This mixed-age environment allows younger children to learn from older peers while older children develop leadership and mentoring skills.
Absolutely! Our Pre-K curriculum emphasizes problem-solving, communication, and emotional readiness—ensuring each child transitions confidently into elementary school. By kindergarten, most children are reading, writing, working with large numbers, and possess strong self-regulation and social skills. Our graduates consistently demonstrate academic confidence and a genuine love of learning.
Inquiry-based learning (IBL) encourages children to ask questions, explore materials, and make connections through hands-on experiments and real-world problem-solving. It complements Montessori by helping children develop strong critical thinking, reasoning, and decision-making skills. Instead of memorizing facts, children learn how to learn—asking “why,” testing hypotheses, and discovering answers through exploration.
Our curriculum covers five core Montessori areas: Practical Life (independence, grace and courtesy), Sensorial (hands-on exploration of concepts), Math (concrete to abstract), Language (phonics, writing, reading), and Cultural Studies (geography, science, history, art). We also include Spanish immersion, music, yoga, and Science Fridays—when students conduct weekly experiments. All enrichment is included in tuition with no extra fees.
Mixed-age classrooms are a cornerstone of Montessori education. Younger children observe and learn from older peers who serve as role models and tutors, while older children reinforce their own learning by teaching and mentoring. This setup allows each child to learn at their own pace, builds confidence and leadership, and creates a collaborative family-like community where everyone contributes to the learning environment.
Spanish, Music, and Yoga lessons are included as part of the program.
