Preschool Program
Our Preschool Program employs certified Montessori teachers and assistant educators with early childhood education degrees. Using authentic Montessori materials, we cultivate independence through hands-on learning in practical life, sensorial exploration, language development, mathematical concepts, and cultural studies. This program prepares children aged 3-6 for academic success while nurturing social-emotional growth in a structured yet nurturing environment.
Kindergarten Program
Continuing Montessori philosophy, our Kindergarten Program educates the whole child through integrated curriculum areas. Children develop advanced reading, writing, and mathematical skills using tactile materials while exploring geography, science, and art. This program maintains low teacher-to-student ratios, allowing personalized instruction that builds confidence and prepares students for traditional elementary school transitions while preserving Montessori principles.
Summer Camp
Our Summer Experience Program serves preschool to age 12 children with educational enrichment activities. Daily field trips, arts and crafts, music instruction, outdoor recreation, and water play days create engaging learning opportunities. This program maintains Montessori-aligned principles while providing structured summer care, combining educational value with physical activity in a safe, supervised environment across multiple Colorado locations.
Infant Toddler Care
Designed as nurturing communities, our Infant Toddler Program focuses on growth and development for children aged 6 weeks to 3 years. Certified caregivers provide individualized attention in warm environments that encourage motor skill development, sensory exploration, and early language acquisition. The program emphasizes secure attachment relationships while introducing foundational Montessori principles through age-appropriate materials and routines.
Supplementary Activities
We offer weekly enrichment classes including dance, aerobics, music, and foreign language instruction as optional add-ons to core programs. These activities enhance physical coordination, cultural awareness, and creative expression while complementing Montessori curriculum. Taught by specialized instructors, these classes develop diverse skills and interests in children aged 2-12 through structured, engaging lessons.
