6 weeks – 18 months
The infant Montessori Community is designed to meet the developmental needs of babies six weeks to 18 months. The Infancy Directress maintains flexibility in the daily routine to meet the diverse needs of the very young child. The infant classroom is a safe nurturing space encompassing all areas of infant care, including movement, sleeping, feeding, outdoor exploration, and cognitive and social experiences.
18 months – 3 years
Our transition consists of children ages 18 months to 3 years of age. Our toddler Montessori guide is trained and focuses on autonomy, separation, and toilet training. In partnership with parents, toddlers are gradually able to separate from their parents. The Montessori trained guide supports the child’s natural development by placing focus on the encouragement of independence. Through these interactions, toddlers begin to form their character, self-esteem, purpose of life, social and emotional skills, and learning processes.
Children discover the true joy of learning through a hands on approach with an focus on fine and gross motor development while building social and emotional skills.

Our early childhood classroom are fully prepared by the teachers. We understand and acknowledge that children have an innate sense of what they need in order to learn and develop. As teachers we are constantly observing each child, paying close attention to: what their needs are, what lessons they need introduced to, what stage the child is at in the course of a curriculum area, social and emotional needs, fine and gross motor needs, and much more. We have 7 set curriculum areas in our classrooms: Practical life, sensorial, math, language, geography, & science.
