Program Overview

Before-care and after-care

 Previously called “Childcare,” our before-care and after-care program will be available for students enrolled in our Nido, Toddler or Children’s House Programs .  Before-care will be available for any student, full or half-time.  After-care will only be available for full time students as it begins at 3:30pm. 

Nido (up to age 18 months)

 Our infant program is called Nido, which is a Montessori term and is Italian for “nest.”  Our Nido program has 2 options including 3 day and 5 day. Before-care is available for these students at an additional rate.  The schedule will be determined in collaboration between parents and Nido teachers with a focus on consistency but room for flexibility. 

Toddler (18 months - about 3 years)

 Our Toddler program has 4 options including 3 day or 5 day, full day or half-day.  This offers flexibility for parents as they introduce their children to a structured school setting.

Our Toddler classrooms will be determined based on the student’s schedule.  

Children’s House (about 3 - 6 years)

 Previously called Pre-Primary, our Children’s House program has several options for families to choose from. We offer a 5 Day Half Day, a 5 Day Half Day with Aftercare, 3 Day Half Day or a 5 Day Full Day.  Our half-day students are dismissed at 11:45 (a.m.) and 3:30 (p.m.) while the full day students have the option of resting or completing another Montessori Work Cycle.  Tuition fees include care until 3:30pm Mondays and Fridays for Full Day Students. 


Our 5 Day Full Day Montessori program is open to Children’s House students and will include lunch, a second work cycle, and snack.  This program will end at 3:30 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and includes care until 3:30pm on Mondays and Friday, but parents can pick up at 11:45 a.m these days.


Our 5 Day Half Day with Aftercare is open to Children's House students and will include lunch, a rest time, snack, and free play period. These children will follow this schedule Monday-Friday and will be dismissed at 3:30 p.m.
