PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Preschool

(Ages 3-4)

Our Preschool Program blends Montessori elements with a play-based curriculum that helps children ages 3–4 strengthen communication, problem-solving, and early academic skills. Children engage in meaningful activities that reinforce literacy foundations, early numeracy, STEM exploration, art, social growth, and emotional understanding.

Classrooms are structured with learning centers—reading, writing, science, dramatic play, building, and art—allowing children to choose work and explore at their own rhythm. Teachers guide learning through intentional play, small-group lessons, and hands-on materials.
