We offer a Montessori education for children from 3 months through 12 years old, guided by the timeless principles of Dr. Maria Montessori. Some of our programs thoughtfully integrate a second language. We currently offer Spanish Immersion from 1-6 years of age, French Exposure from 3-6 years of age, and Mandarin Exposure for children between 3-12 years of age. exposure, including Spanish Immersion, French, and Mandarin, enhancing cultural awareness and linguistic development.
In alignment with Montessori's vision, all of our classrooms feature mixed-age groupings, a distinctive hallmark of the Montessori method. This arrangement fosters a dynamic learning community, where younger children benefit from the guidance of older peers, while older children cultivate leadership, mentorship, and confidence as they support their younger classmates.
At the heart of our programs is a commitment to the individual child. Our classrooms are meticulously prepared environments that invite exploration and ignite the natural curiosity and independence inherent in each child. Every material is thoughtfully placed within the child’s reach, allowing for autonomy in learning. Guides present these materials with intentionality and respect, offering clear, meaningful lessons at each child’s developmental level, listening attentively, and using language that honors the child’s thoughts and contributions. This approach nurtures not only intellectual growth but also a deep respect for the child's inner potential.
Our Montessori curriculum is highly structured and meets or exceeds New York State standards. Families are encouraged to follow their child's progression by logging on to Transparent Classroom.
