From the Director:
I use an amazing array of disciplines to create our own unique blend of mindful, smart education. Montessori is the philosophical base infused with art/music/dance and experiential field trip learning weekly.

| Other subjects taught | Our program has a wonderful arts program including the study of several master artists per year including Van Gogh, Monet, Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollack and Matisse. In addition, children receive a music and movement class as part of their daily schedule. And, daily art projects. Unique to our program are weekly field trips to nature and educational settings where mothers and younger siblings come for free. | ||||
From the Director:
We tailor the curriculum to match each individual child. The children learn at their own pace in an environment that is stimulating and full of materials that draw the child in.
Quality of Teaching
Individualized Teaching: From the Director
Each child progresses at his or her own comfort level. One on one lessons are given in the phonetic alphabet to our 4 year olds to teach them to read. The younger 3 year olds play phonetic games that help them train their ears to hear phonetic sounds as a preparation for reading.
Day in the Life
General School Mission
Our main goal is to help children be comfortable, happy and successful little people. We provide an enriched academic, natural, science and arts based education with a Montessori philosophical base.
