About this preschool

Playgroup is a Montessori-based preschool that uses a curriculum inspired by Dr. Montessori's 'follow the child' philosophy, integrated with developmental theories from Piaget and Erikson. The program emphasizes academics, play, gross motor activities, creative arts, and music to prepare children for elementary school.

Philosophy
Working from the Montessori curriculum, children experience math, language, arts, science and cultural studies through developmentally appropriate activities. The school supports parents in 'growing the tree they have' and gives children the gift of respect from adults with freedom to learn and play within clear limits.
