About this preschool

An English/Spanish bilingual immersion Montessori school serving ages 6 months through Kindergarten, including Transitional Kindergarten. The school integrates bilingual education with Montessori methodology to foster academic, social, intellectual, and artistic growth in both languages.

Philosophy
The Montessori Method is used to teach each child in ways they respond, with experienced teachers observing children's strengths as individuals and building learning programs around their personal interests and pace. The focus is on individualized learning, self-esteem, independence, and creating a 'whole child' who loves to learn and express curiosity.
