Our Progr​ams

Montessori Learning Center offers flexible programs that meet the needs of parents with varying schedul​es. The school year typically runs from September through the first week of June, with holidays, and winter and spring breaks.


Studies have shown that young children benefit most from consecutive days attendance rather than alternating days. Therefore, we offer a selection of consecutive day schedules.


Our daily activities are tailored to align with the child’s natural energy and focus. All programs include times for independent lessons / work, peer work, snacks, meals, rest, and physical activity.

Our Toddler Program serves as a gentle introduction into the Montessori school environment. The program nurtures the child’s natural curiosity within a safe and peaceful learning space. Key aspects of our Montessori program for toddlers include gross and fine motor development, social / emotional growth, sensorial exploration, practical life activities, and language development. Toddlers explore and learn at their own pace with guidance from trained, supportive teachers.


The toddler Program has a phase-in period at the beginning of each school year to help these young children get oriented and become comfortable with the new environment.

Our Early Childhood program lays the groundwork for a lifelong journey of learning. We introduce more advanced materials in practical life, sensorial, language, math, science, and culture (history, geography, art, music and Spanish). Children progress through the curriculum at their own pace, based on their developmental readiness. Children of different ages learn together, fostering collaboration and peer support. The classroom is designed to be engaging and supports exploration. New materials are introduced every month.

Our Montessori Kindergarten program serves as a bridge between the Montessori classroom and more traditional first grade placements. Kindergarten students work on a graduation project, which they present during the graduation ceremony.

Our KG curriculum introduces advanced reading and vocabulary, 5-digit math, Science Fridays (new topics and demonstrations in an area of science), higher music and Spanish lessons. We allow additional, uninterrupted time to work on activities individually and in small groups.

A 2006 study published in Science found that 5-year-olds in Montessori schools significantly outperformed peers in both academic and behavioral measures.

Befor​e & After Care

Learning takes place all day at Montessori Learning Center. Staffed by highly qualified Early Childhood professionals, this program provides not just convenience for working parents, but quality enrichment for children who would like more social and creative experiences in their Montessori day. Children in before care begin the day in a quiet and relaxing environment; filled with manipulatives for learning, as well as quiet activities, to ease the transition into the day. Children who come for after school care will experience group activities, crafts, outdoor play, themed units for learning, and lots of time for making friends in a fun and productive manner. Nap time is available for those younger children who still benefit from a nap. Plenty of outdoor and gross motor play is also built into the day to ensure that every child receives a balance of academic, social, and physical enrichment daily. This program is billed hourly. Please see our tuition schedule for detailed pricing.

At Montessori Learning Center (MLC), we believe the Montessori approach can benefit every child, but it may not be the right fit for every family. Montessori education emphasizes independence, self-motivation, and respect for each child’s natural pace of learning.


Children who thrive in an environment that encourages freedom within structure, hands-on learning, and self-directed exploration often do especially well in our classrooms.


For families, it’s important to understand and support the Montessori philosophy allowing children to grow through curiosity, responsibility, and respect. When both the school and families work together with shared values, the Montessori experience becomes truly meaningful and effective for the child.

At Montessori Learning Center (MLC), social-emotional development is an essential part of our philosophy and daily practice. We believe discipline comes through self-regulation, understanding, and respect.


Our teachers consistently model and reinforce Grace and Courtesy lessons, helping children learn how to express themselves thoughtfully and interact kindly with others. Each classroom has a designated Peace Corner, a calm space where children can take time to regulate their emotions, reflect, and return when they feel ready.


Teachers gently guide children by giving them the words and tools to express their feelings and solve conflicts respectfully. We emphasize that it’s okay to have emotions what matters is how we express them. This approach helps children develop empathy, self-awareness, and inner discipline, all within the Montessori environment.

Our snacks typically include a carbohydrate paired with either a fruit or a vegetable, ensuring a simple and balanced option for the children.
        Lunch: Parents provide a daily packed lunch for full-day students. Food cannot be warmed or microwaved by staff.
        Daily Snacks: MLC provides complimentary morning and afternoon snacks for all children comprising a carbohydrate paired with fruit or vegetables.
