Infants
Our “Casa de Bambini” program, designed for children 12 months through 20 months of age, is premised on the observation that though children are small in stature, they are immense in mental ability and eager to use it.
The Montessori Infant environment stresses the importance of freedom of movement. The infants are free to move and stretch without restriction. Through movement the infants become more aware of their bodies and are able to develop coordination and dexterity without inhibition. You will notice that there are no "play pens" in our Infant classroom. We take great care in setting up a "whole room play area" which enables the infant to explore a wide range of materials, textures and objects for tactile and visual stimulation.
Language development is also an integral part of the Casa de Bambini program. A teacher's role is to consciously introduce language through the use of words, inflection, tone and body language. Infants gather their first understanding of the world, and thrive, through this interaction.
We understand that many of the strongest, deepest and longest lasting impressions are formed early on, and we are committed to making this first experience one that is filled with warmth, love and care.

Toddlers
Our Toddler programs, designed for children ages 18 months through 3 year of age, focus on a period of tremendous development and growth. During this stage, children develop 80% of their personality, enhance their mobility, improve their gross and fine motor skills, as well as learn they are separate individuals yet a vital part of a community. It is a critical time of development for a child. Working with the children's natural tendencies shows them a respect for their childhood, and encourages them to enjoy learning.
Our teachers take great care in providing a nurturing, safe and comfortable atmosphere, while at the same time igniting the child's natural curiosity in the many materials and activities offered in the classroom. Children are not required to be potty-trained to enter this program.

Primary
At the Early Childhood level our educational program is based on the premise that young children flourish with gentle guidance and the freedom to work at their own pace. The carefully prepared environment of the 3 to 6 years old is designed to take advantage of the child’s sensitive years— those times when there is a readiness to learn specific skills.
Our rich classroom environments, full of hundreds of learning materials, facilitate the independent learning of skills moving from the concrete to abstract learning process. They are designed to put children at ease by giving them freedom within limits - a safe place to grow and learn.
