The Montessori preschool classrooms are designed for children ages 3-6, with an extended “kindergarten” for the 5–6-year-old child. It offers children opportunities to develop their own capabilities, progressing at their own pace. Each classroom is filled with developmentally appropriate activities that encourage children to interact with specific learning materials, as well as to work cooperatively with others. Social and emotional learning is woven throughout the curriculum and in daily interactions with the children. The school is committed to meeting the mental health of children and has specialized training in trauma-informed practices.

Dr. Montessori called the elementary program, the “cosmic curriculum”. The cosmic curriculum necessarily draws from the solid sensorial base built in the preschool and the elementary years and proceeds to immerse the children in an academic interface with their cosmic, physical, psychological and cultural realities. Concepts are taught from the largest scope to smallest, each adding detail and showing the interconnectedness of all things. The Montessori Method in the elementary pertains to the Great Lessons which, with each year of increasing levels of detail and complexity, constitute a rich curriculum similar to a liberal arts college program.
