About the Provider

Description: Why choose a daycare or any other elementary when your child could be enrolled in a preschool - elementary that inspires a love of learning? Montessori is an educational approach that enables children to learn in a hands-on way, and provides the optimal environment for children to flourish academically, spiritually, socially and civically. Our preschool, toddler programs and elementary encourage children's natural curiosity and innate love of learning by giving them the opportunity to engage in meaningful work at their own pace and according to their own capabilities under the guidance of a trained classroom teacher called a directress. Our family-friendly school also provides before and after school care as well as a summer program.
