Having a legacy spanning more than two decades at this establishment, we take immense pride in adeptly addressing our community's requirements by offering early childhood education following the principles of the Montessori Method.

Learn More

The Montessori Method of education, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, is a child-centered educational approach based on scientific observations of children. Montessori's method has been used for over 100 years in many parts of the world. The Montessori method views the child as one who is naturally eager for knowledge and capable of initiating learning in a supportive, thoughtfully prepared learning environment. It attempts to develop children physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively.

Our goals and visions are to provide all children under our care with healthy, safe, and friendly environment. Providing children with Developmentally Appropriate Practices and hands on educational experience and materials are important with ages and stages. We accept children from ages 3 months to 6 years or until they enter 1st Grade.
