About the Provider
In 2012, MCA partnered with an enrichment company, LEAF Approach to Enrichments (LEAF). With LEAF, MCA can now offer a wide range of enrichments for all ages within the communities it serves. The very young are taught with morning Parent/Child classes, school age children are offered programs after their regular sessions end, while evening/weekend classes are geared primarily toward adults. All of these add-on programs are based on the Montessori approach to learning.
