This unique program offers a caring and stimulating environment
designed to meet the individual needs of each child.
Personalized schedules, feeding times and daily charting help
each child and parents to develop at their own pace. Time is
spent both indoors and outdoors and children are encouraged to
explore their world in a safe and loving environment. Children
will be introduced to the Montessori curriculum. Daily
activities, crafts, songs, games and age appropriate educational
toys all combine to provide the perfect atmosphere for growing
minds and bodies.
Teacher/child ratio is 3:10

We offer a full day program for toddlers focusing on both
physical and mental growth. Toddlers are given the freedom to
explore in a safe and stimulating environment. With the
teacher’s guidance, basic rules, routines and social
interactions are encouraged. The toddler program will continue
to offer your child a more in depth opportunity at a well
balanced curriculum that focuses on the Montessori philosophy.
A wide variety of planned indoor and outdoor activities are
included each day. Toddlers will be fed lunch and two snacks a
day in small groups. A nap or rest period will be provided for
approximately two hours every day. We provide a toilet training
routine and a daily charting system to assist parents.

Casa Program
- 2 ½ to 6
Years
(Top)
We offer a five full-day program so your child can continue to
build upon the learning experiences and foundations acquired in
our Toddler Program. The younger children in the Casa Program
are ready to learn many new concepts including colors, shapes,
numbers, size, position, patterning, sequencing, vocabulary, and
listening skills. The older children will expand their reading
and math skills in order to prepare themselves for first grade.
Our Casa program offers extra attention for your child with
considerably lower child/teacher ratio's than is currently
available in the mainstream school system. Your child's day is
still continuously designed to meet their physical, emotional,
social and cognitive needs via a stimulating Montessori
curriculum geared towards the various age groups. There is also
plenty of time for running, jumping, climbing, dancing and
developing social skills by functioning as part of a group. All
of these skills are presented in a fun-filled way both inside
the classroom, on the computer and out in the playground. Lunch
and two snacks a day are provided.
