About this preschool

Little Thinkers Montessori Academy is a Montessori-based preschool that focuses on developing motor abilities, thinking skills, and healthy peer interactions through hands-on learning. The school serves infants through kindergarten-age children in a nurturing environment designed to support emotional, social, and creative growth.

Philosophy
Children thrive in an environment which values their own uniqueness, while providing support and opportunities to grow emotionally, socially and creatively. By building on each child's strengths, interests and curiosities, we guide each child to explore the world around them as well as develop new abilities and form close relationships. Activities are designed to adequately nurture the emotional and intellectual growth of children through stimulating situations and hands-on learning opportunities.
