Forest Classroom
(Ages 2-3)
A nurturing setting for our youngest learners to build confidence, independence, language, and social-emotional skills through hands-on exploration. This classroom serves as a bridge between home and school, helping children establish a strong foundation for future learning.
STEM A & B Classrooms (Ages 2-4)
An engaging, mixed-age environment that fosters practical life skills, sensory discovery, early math, and language development through purposeful play and exploration. These classrooms embody the essence of Montessori education, where younger children learn by observing older peers, and older children grow through leadership and responsibility.
Children progress at their own pace across areas such as language, math, practical life, cultural studies, and social-emotional growth, with each activity designed to promote independence, curiosity, and discovery. This environment allows children to fully immerse themselves in the Montessori experience, developing confidence and a genuine love of learning.
Ocean Classroom

This vibrant, mixed-age Montessori community welcomes Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, and Kindergarten students in a caring and engaging environment. Here, children develop concentration, leadership, creativity, and academic readiness through individualized lessons and meaningful peer collaboration.
Our hybrid approach offers a balanced integration of Montessori philosophy and academic preparation, helping children build both independence and strong foundational skills. Serving as a bridge to elementary school, this classroom provides a well-rounded curriculum in language arts, math, social studies, and science, enriched with hands-on learning experiences that ensure each child transitions smoothly and confidently to the next stage of their educational journey.
