Home / Programs

From seedling to sapling.

Two classrooms that build on each other, so a child who joins us at two never has to start over.

The Sprout Room, with low shelves a toddler can reach

Ages 2–3 · The Sprout Room

Seedling Program

For most children this is the first real time away from home, and we treat it that way. The room is calm and uncluttered, with low shelves, small chairs, a sink they can reach, and just enough choices that choosing feels good rather than overwhelming.

  • Pouring, spooning, sweeping, washing, dressing frames
  • Songs, stories, naming things, and real conversation
  • Climbing, carrying, and balancing
  • Potty learning together, at your child’s pace
  • Half day, full day, or extended day

Ages 3–6 · The Oak Room

Sapling Program

Three years in one room, where each piece of work sets up the next. A child who starts by pouring beans arrives at reading, writing and real mathematics — not because anyone pushed, but because they were ready each time.

  • Traditional Montessori materials across the five areas of the curriculum
  • One mixed-age room, so older children mentor younger ones
  • Art, building, and projects children return to over weeks
  • Hands-on science through real experiments
  • Half day, full day, or extended day
Children working together in the Oak Room

Why we ask families to plan for all three years.

The last year in the Oak Room is the one that pays off. Your child becomes a leader of the room, teaches the younger ones, and puts two years of groundwork to use. Families who leave a year early almost always tell us they wish they had not.

Woven through the week.

Not extras taught by a visitor. These run inside the day, led by our own guides.

Garden

Planting, weeding, harvesting, and cooking what comes out of the beds.

Discovery Lab

Ramps, magnets, simple machines, and building with real materials.

Music and movement

Singing, rhythm, listening, folk dance, and yoga.

Reading corner

Storytelling, real books, and literacy skills at work — at each child’s own pace.

Little Builders

Real tools, closely supervised, and genuinely satisfying.

Service project

One project a term, chosen and led by the children.

The spaces we built.

Every Montessori school in the area covers the five areas of the curriculum. These are the places that make ours different — and the ones we will walk you through on a visit.

Areas for STEM exploration

Room to build, test, measure and take apart, with real materials and enough space to leave a project standing overnight.

The Atelier

A studio where children work an idea out in paint, clay, wire and light — a Reggio-inspired space for thinking in more than words.

Reading corners

Quiet places with real books, where storytelling and literacy grow at each child’s own pace.

The Piazza

Our meeting place, under the big reading tree at the front. Where the whole school gathers, and where families are welcome.

Traditional Montessori materials

Across the five areas of the curriculum, supporting concentration, order and cognitive development.

The Grove, outdoors

Garden beds and open ground. Not a break from the work — an extension of it.

Hover or tab through the carriages to see what each part of the day looks like.

The long carriages are the work cycles. Scroll along the track to follow the whole day.

The best way to know is to stand in the room.

Visits take about half an hour. Bring your child — we would love to meet them.
