The Cycle

Montessori Child Development Center provides the pre-primary level of Montessori education. Children are enrolled in the year of their 3rd birthday and continue in the program through kindergarten.

We encourage three years in our Montessori environment before moving on to first grade. This allows the child to take full advantage of our program and to work in all curriculum areas. A third year Montessori child has a chance not only to progress but also to go back to earlier work and perfect it.

The classrooms are composed of an inter-age group of 2½-6 year olds. This multi-aged grouping further aids social development by giving children an opportunity to learn from, and teach, each other and to accept different levels of ability. This results in a stimulating atmosphere. By remaining for three years, children have the experience of being the youngest and oldest in their social group.
