General
We serve children from 18 months through 12 years of age, across four programs: Toddler (18 months–3 years), Primary (3–6 years), Lower Elementary (6–9 years), and Upper Elementary (9–12 years).
Montessori education emphasizes hands-on, self-paced learning in mixed-age classrooms. Children choose their own activities from a range of options, developing independence, self-discipline, and a deep love of learning guided by trained Montessori teachers.
Yes, all lead teachers hold AMS (American Montessori Society) or AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) credentials in addition to their state teaching certifications. Our assistants receive ongoing Montessori training.
Our Toddler classrooms maintain a 5:1 ratio, Primary classrooms a 10:1 ratio, and Elementary classrooms a 12:1 ratio. Each classroom has a lead teacher and at least one assistant.
