Infants

Infant Program at Little Scholars Montessori Academy

Our Infant Program (3–18 months) provides a safe, prepared, and loving environment based on core Montessori principles. Our focus is on individualized, nurturing care and freedom of movement to support the natural development of crucial motor skills and sensory awareness. We maintain low ratios and utilize authentic Montessori materials (like mobiles and grasp toys) designed to stimulate the senses and encourage early concentration and discovery. This respectful environment supports the child's Absorbent Mind during this foundational period, ensuring a basis of trust and independence as they meet their earliest milestones.

Pre-K

Pre-K Program at Little Scholars Montessori Academy

The Pre-K Program (ages 4 to 5 years) is the capstone of the Little Scholars experience, strategically designed to ensure students are academically and socially ready for Kindergarten. This environment transitions the child from concrete Montessori work toward abstract thought, deeply consolidating skills in advanced literacy, mathematical operations, and complex problem-solving. Our hybrid approach provides focused, teacher-led instruction in traditional pre-K subjects (phonics, sequencing, pre-algebra) while maintaining the Montessori independence and concentration gained in earlier years. This combination results in a confident, adaptable, and highly prepared "Little Graduate" ready to excel in their next academic setting.

Toddlers

Toddler Program at Little Scholars Montessori Academy

The Toddler Program (18m to 2.5yrs) is designed as a bridge from the infant to the Preschool environment. Rooted in the Montessori concept of "Help me do it myself," this program focuses on building practical life skills and developing independence. Toddlers engage with scaled-down tools and materials that promote self-feeding, dressing, and toilet learning. The curriculum encourages increasing concentration, language explosion, and the refinement of motor skills through purposeful work, setting a strong foundation for the next stage of learning.

After Care

Aftercare Program at Little Scholars Montessori Academy

Our Aftercare Program is the comprehensive solution for working families, providing a safe, structured, and enriching environment for children from Pre-K up to 5th grade until 6:00 PM. Blending the best of our educational philosophy with necessary support, our program provides dedicated time for supervised homework completion to ensure students stay on track and reduce evening stress at home. Students also engage in a balance of STEAM enrichment activities, creative play, and physical recreation, maintaining the Montessori ethos of independence and concentration. For ultimate convenience, we offer bus transportation directly from select local elementary schools to our facility, ensuring a safe, seamless, and reliable transition for your child.

Preschool

Preschooler Program at Little Scholars Montessori Academy

The Preschooler Program (ages 2.5 to 4 years) features the full, robust Montessori primary curriculum combined with our Traditional/Hybrid Advantage. Focused on maximizing the child's Absorbent Mind during this period, students engage with materials across practical life, sensorial, language, and mathematics. This prepared environment encourages deep, self-directed work that builds concentration, problem-solving skills, and academic fluency. Our hybrid model also integrates teacher-guided group activities to foster cooperation and school readiness, ensuring your child is exceptionally well-prepared for Kindergarten.

Backup Care

Backup Care Program at Little Scholars Montessori Academy

The Backup Care program provides an essential safety net for families when their regular childcare arrangements unexpectedly fall through. Available for children from infancy through age 10 (5th grade), this flexible service covers short-term, emergency situations like school closures, mild child illness, or a sudden caregiver absence. We offer a reliable solution to eliminate work disruption and family stress. Care options include access to our high-quality center, providing a safe, nurturing, and familiar environment so you can focus on your professional and personal responsibilities with complete peace of mind.
