A Play-Based, Montessori-Inspired Approach Inspires Discovery

Your child loves to learn through play, and in their mixed-age classroom, there are endless chances to share, explore, and achieve. Montessori and Reggio-inspired materials guide their activities from investigation to mastery, framed with fun.

Loving Teachers Guide Social-Emotional Development

Attentive staff care for small groups and meet each child where they are. Your little learner’s teacher helps them identify and regulate their big feelings, navigate new friendships, and start building the important skills they need.

Languages & Literacy Lay A Solid Foundation

Your child learns in English, Serbian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish for a multi-cultural, brain-boosting introduction to language. Through songs, stories, games, and activities, they become a confident communicator with the ability to express themselves.

STEAM Activities Ignite Their Natural Curiosity

Every day, your child explores science, tech, engineering, art, and math through engaging, hands-on experiences, investigations, and experiments. They learn to solve problems, recognize patterns, and draw conclusions in ways that inspire their curious minds.

Active Play Indoors & Out Strengthens Their Bodies

Running, jumping, and climbing outdoors on the turfed playground and fun structures helps them get the wiggles out and explore their abilities. Indoors, there are tunnels, stepping stones, and balls to build hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, and more.
