Infant/Toddler (0-3)
For children ages 3 to 36 months, our Infant & Toddler classroom is located at our separate Infant Center at 1800 E Main St in Ashland, providing a specially prepared environment designed to meet the unique needs of our youngest learners.. Infants are supported through respectful caregiving, freedom of movement, and rich sensory experiences, while toddlers begin exploring practical life activities, self-care, language, and Montessori materials designed to encourage discovery and problem-solving. This nurturing approach honors each child’s individual development while laying a strong foundation for future learning.
Pre-Primary (2-3)
Montessori education for toddlers focuses on building a strong foundation for future learning through purposeful, hands-on experiences. In our thoughtfully prepared environment, children use child-sized tools and engage in practical life activities such as pouring, sweeping, and self-care, which strengthen fine motor skills and coordination. Sensory-based learning materials help toddlers explore and make sense of the world while naturally supporting early language development. By encouraging independence, concentration, and confidence, the Montessori approach gently prepares young children for the academics to come.
Primary (3-6)
Our highly trained Preschool teachers provide individualized attention to each child using authentic, hands-on Montessori materials to teach reading, mathematics, science, geography and more. The gentle and respectful Montessori approach allows for children to build skills in Order, Coordination, Concentration, and Independence (OCCI). With a focus on Peace Education, our teachers gently guide the children to establish awareness, kindness and compassion within their community. Our preschool program provides weekly activities in Art, STEM, music, second language intoduction and more to give the children opportunities to engage their senses, practice critical thinking, promote creativity, and express emotion.
