Toddlers
Our toddler program consists of children from the ages of 16 months to 34 months. Our professional staff are trained in Early Childhood Education and the Montessori philosophy.
Casa
The Casa program at My First Montessori School, ages 34 months to 6 years, revolves around building on and strengthening the foundations learned by the students in the Toddler program.
Specialty Programs
In addition to the Montessori curriculum, we have specialty programs for everyone to enjoy. These programs work hand in hand with what we feel strongly develops the whole child.
Before & After
My First Montessori School is happy to provide before and after extended care for children. The before school hours are from 7:00am to 8:45am and after school from 4:15pm to 6:00pm.
The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, “The children are now working as if I did not exist”. – Maria Montessori

The Montessori Advantage
The Montessori Approach focuses on the development of a child’s self-confidence, independence, concentration and natural love of learning. By observing children closely, you are able to identify when a child is most willing and ready to learn a specific skill. The method is based on the freedom of the child to explore and learn, mostly, through self-direction.
“Our aim is not only to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but to touch his imagination so as to enthuse him to his innermost core.” – Maria Montessori
