About

Montessori Learning Center has been serving young children and families for over forty years. Known as the “small gem” of the Montessori community, our intimate setting provides a safe and warm place for toddlers and preschoolers to begin their educational and social life.

Courses/Programs offered

event_available Toddlers Our Toddler Program serves as a gentle introduction into the Montessori school environment. The purpose of this program is not to replace the primary caregiver, but to compliment their experiences by adding social and academic opportunities in a slightly more structured and academic environment than a child would find at home or a center. Because this is truly an educational experience, and not simply childcare, the program hours and days are limited to the young child’s ability to sustain attention and maximize their interest without overtiring.
event_available Early Childhood Our half-day program is offered to children three to six years old. We offer this program or families who are looking for a part-time schedule for their preschoolers. These children are fully incorporated into the Montessori classroom while having time for afternoon family activities. We offer 3 day, 4 day, and 5 day options. Since young children find comfort in more consistent schedules, our schedules are on consecutive days only.
event_available Montessori Kindergarten We offer a special Full Day Program for our Kindergarten-age children who have attended at least one year of Montessori preschool and have been determined to be academically ready. These children are in their regular classrooms in the mornings with a full mixture of ages. In the afternoon, these small groups of older children concentrate on the more advanced Montessori materials. Special emphasis is placed on introducing these children to more group and teacher-led activities. In this way, it serves as a bridge between the Montessori classroom and more traditional first grade placements. More advanced music classes, field trips, Science Fridays and special “Full Day Kindergarten only” activities complete the curriculum.
event_available Before and After Care Learning takes place all day at Montessori Learning Center. Staffed by highly qualified Early Childhood professionals, this program provides not just convenience for working parents, but quality enrichment for children who would like more social and creative experiences in their Montessori day. Children in before care begin the day in a quiet and relaxing environment; filled with manipulatives for learning, as well as quiet activities, to ease the transition into the day. Children who come for after school care will experience group activities, crafts, outdoor play, themed units for learning, and lots of time for making friends in a fun and productive manner. Nap time is available for those younger children who still benefit from a nap. Plenty of outdoor and gross motor play is also built into the day to ensure that every child receives a balance of academic, social, and physical enrichment daily. This program is billed hourly. Please see our tuition schedule for detailed pricing.
event_available Enrichment Programs Montessori Learning Center teaches to the whole child. Each child holds within him or her a creative side which adds depth and refinement to a child's personality. Creative arts are a means of self-expression, building self-confidence, and improving self-esteem. We are proud to offer numerous enrichment programs such as music instruction, art and foreign language a part of the Montessori Learning Center curriculum.
