The Children’s House

The Montessori classroom is prepared to meet each child where they are developmentally, supportive of their individual intellectual, social, emotional, and physical needs. This is accomplished when the Montessori teacher creates intentional spaces with hands-on educational materials to support a nurturing environment to thrive.

Approximate Ages: 30 months - 6 years
