Childcare and early learning (infant/toddler, daycare, preschool) The school offers infant/toddler programs, daycare for ages 3–5, preschool, and a preschool/daycare combination program, describing calm, nurturing Montessori environments with trained educators and outdoor learning access.
The school emphasizes respect for the child and calm, purposeful learning spaces where children feel safe, valued, and supported. In the elementary classroom, the stated behavior guidelines include that children must “do the work” and may not interrupt or disturb others at work. The program also describes quiet voices, careful movement around others’ work (e.g., walking around work mats), grace and courtesy skills, and learning how to ask for help and help others (including dealing with bullying).
The school directs families to complete an intake/waitlist form to be added to the waitlist; once contacted, the school will reach out to set up a tour and will contact families as space becomes available. The website also notes that registration is open for September 2026.
