What ages are accepted?
We offer a differentiated mixed age group setting. This means we accept children as young as 3 (or almost 3, if ready) up through Kindergarten, but our lessons are individualized for each academic group and on each child’s level! We are easily able to break into small groups with our small ratios and two teachers at all times.
Maria Montessori found that mixed age groups helped with social/emotional skills throughout the group! The younger students can learn from observing older children and older children learn patience and understanding when working with younger students. Over the last several years we have found the younger students THRIVE in a mixed age group and the older students have a compassion that can only be taught through real world experiences.
Below you will find a basic break down of what each age group/academic group learns.
