Question 1

What ages do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We welcome children from 3 months to 12 years old, with age-appropriate Montessori activities designed to support each stage of development from infant care through the school-age years.

Question 2

What does a typical day look like?

Accepted Answer

Infants follow their own individual schedule based on their unique needs for feeding, sleep, and play. Once children reach 18 months, they transition to our structured daily routine.

Question 3

What makes Montessori different than a traditional daycare?

Accepted Answer

Montessori takes a structured yet child-centered approach to early education. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all schedule, children learn at their own pace through hands-on, purposeful activities that build independence, curiosity, and a genuine love of learning.Check out this blog posts for more!Unveiling the Advantages of Montessori Schooling
