Junior Preschool

Our Junior Preschool program supports your children’s desire to discover and their need for independence while providing a sense of safety and security. Our Montessori-trained (Left Brain) and Reggio- inspired (Right Brain) teachers propagate awareness of sensitive periods, encourage learning through play and exploration, and respect the natural development of the child.

Toddlers are given the time and opportunity to engage in purposeful work to explore language, music, movement, art, practical life and fine/gross motor activities that meet their individual developmental needs. They practice skills such as buttoning, tying and zipping, preparing meals, and caring for the environment and themselves (including toilet training).
