Learning that grows with your child.
Three classes, from Pre-K to Lower Elementary, because it’s never too early to get ahead. Each classroom is small enough for individual attention and big enough for children to learn and grow together.
Ages 1–3
Pre-Primary
Built for a toddler’s drive toward independence. Children practice self-sufficiency, from manners and hand-washing to tidying up their own work, and learn through sight, sound, touch and taste.
Practical Life
Feeding, dressing, hand-washing, pushing in a chair, setting the table and sharing.
Sensorial
Activities that heighten the senses through colors, textures, sounds and food prep.
Language
Daily conversation, stories, speech sounds and naming the objects around them.
Math
Measuring, sequencing and early counting woven into everyday sensorial work.
Ages 3–6
Primary
A head start in education through hands-on exploration. Children build fine motor skills, a responsible work ethic, and a thorough introduction to language and math, from letter sounds to addition and subtraction.
Sensorial
Geometric shapes, binomial and trinomial cubes, and visual, auditory and tactile work.
Language
Conversation, stories, pincer grip, letter sounds and reading readiness.

Concrete, self-correcting materials that move from quantity to operations.
