Young children are natural explorers, and in the right kind of environment, that tendency can seed a lifelong curiosity about a world that they know is full of excitement and beauty. Each child in our Montessori Together program grows to become a self-initiated learner and independent thinker ready to succeed both inside and outside of the classroom.

The Crawlers classroom environment is prepared so that infants feel safe to explore, build strength, and express themselves. Each infant practices and masters all of the steps that lead up to walking and talking. Our teachers gently help infants to do things by themselves, striking the balance between making them feel safe and identifying the right moment to encourage them to try something new.

The Walkers classroom environment nurtures a toddler’s developing intelligence by offering increasingly more complex objects to explore and manipulate in intriguing ways. Activities are designed to support the toddler in learning to solve problems and make choices, as well as giving her plenty of opportunities to practice a variety of physical movements. As a toddler works with more complex activities, her experiences reinforce her belief in her own ability to solve problems and overcome challenges that arise along the way.
