The Montessori Center School Pre-Primary Program offers:
- A safe, caring environment that encourages intellectual, social, physical, creative and moral development, preparing very young children (18 months through 3 years) for academic excellence and confident life-long learning and responsible lives.
- A teaching philosophy which recognizes that children are naturally curious and wish to experiment, explore and make sense of the world around them.
- The opportunity for children to work together to develop self confidence in a tender atmosphere of special understanding, support and respect of individual differences.
