"Play is the work of the child."
-Maria Montessori
Our Montessori-inspired program focuses not only on school-readiness, but on developing the whole child. We strive to foster a love of learning and teach practical life skills. Above all, we pray our children may experience a lifetime of faith from the small seeds planted in our care.
