Our traditional Montessori curriculum is enhanced with yoga, music, art, dance and Spanish instruction. Our programs provide our students with a wide range of experiences and learning opportunities. In our work as educators, we adhere to Dr. Maria Montessori’s plea to ‘follow the child.’ We accomplish this objective by working to understand and support the developmental characteristics of the group while never losing site of the unique personality and needs of each individual child within that group.
