The most critical period of a child's development is between 0-5 years of age. We provide intentional high-quality instruction where children can learn at their own pace in an environment that is specifically created to support them. Based on Montessori philosophies, we help our young learners discover the world around them through engaging hands-on experiences that promote thinking and problem-solving skills. The curriculum is individualized and tailored to each child's unique needs. We provide a calm, consistent and structured environment with age-appropriate activities that foster curiosity. The multi-age groupings provide peer role models for younger students, while older students have the opportunity to develop their confidence and leadership skills. We provide a 3-year-old & Pre-K program concurrently according to your child's knowledge and abilities, strengths and interests.
The preschool is located in a quiet 4-acre wooded area, with natural wildlife and nature trails. We are a Certified Wildlife Habitat, with chickens & a vegetable garden. With a large outdoor play set & sandbox for your child to enjoy, bicycles to ride with a large newly paved area, a picnic table & large lawn area in which to run around and explore, there are many options to engage and stimulate your child.
