​

The first three years of life are the most fundamental in the development of human beings and their potential. It is a period when the core of personality, social skills, and human values are developed. It is the time where rapid transformation in growth happens.

 

Dr. Maria Montessori saw this time as the absolute most critical in human development, of all the other age periods.

 

With a deep understanding of what a child is developing, a fully Montessori prepared environment will meet the needs of the child and foster a sense of belonging, independence, and language acquisition, thereby enabling children to feel able and capable. 

​

Giving the young child a home away from home.

​

As per AMI standards, and with OCFS daycare licensure, we

offer a five day a week, half-day or full-day toddler program,

for children who are 18 months on September of that school year,

who have learned to walk, and whose world is therefore already

expanding at a greater rate. To find our more about admitting

your toddler, to our program please visit our Enroll page.

 

During their time at our school, the youngest students

focus on developing their movements, language, and

independence,  within a caring and social-environmental

context. Our unique farm location will offer lots of opportunity

for additional outdoor activities, which we believe are important for

growing minds and bodies.​
