A Foundation for Learning and Living
We respect each individual child.
Our carefully prepared environment addresses the age-appropriate intellectual, physical and emotional needs of children that enable the freedom to explore and develop independence. Courtesy and grace are an integral part of our environment, where children grow not just educationally, but emotionally and socially, respecting each individual and understanding their role and connection in our world.
Individualized Curriculum
We follow the child.
Through our expert understanding of child development, observation, connection, and respect for the unique individual in our care, our educators craft individual lesson plans that meet each child where they are and show trust in the child’s capabilities.
Parent Partnership
We invest in our parents.
Every child benefits from a strong parent-school partnership, which includes open communication, trust, collaboration, and accountability. To foster respect, curiosity, and perseverance for each of our children, we offer a variety of parent education experiences to practice Montessori principles in everyday life.
