Pre-primary program for children 3 to 6 years old.

Children in this age group devote themselves to the development of their intellectual faculties. Using a nurturing, individualized approach, we create a self-directed thirst for learning. For more information on this multi-age approach, visit the Montessori three-year cycle. This program also includes weekly enrichment sessions in Spanish, Yoga and Music.

Teacher-to-child ratio is 1:10.
