Programs

Amidst a lush green landscape and wide open spaces, your child gets to experience unique campus environment that inspires a love for nature and a healthy relationship with food.

Children experience natural materials and elements in the classrooms and outdoor spaces, encouraging exploration and learning from the world around them. 

A food-forward* approach introduces children to fresh, whole foods and teaches them about the importance of nourishing their bodies and the earth. 

By cultivating a sense of wonder and respect for the natural world, your child gets empowered to grow into a compassionate and sustainable leader.

Overview by Class

  • 18 months – 2.5 years

    By starting Windsor Street Montessori in the toddler years, young children get to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth that will lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning and success. 

    This carefully designed program for toddlers fosters emotional intelligence, social skills, and physical development, while also introducing essential language and practical life skills. 

    As your child explores and learns in our nurturing environment, they will develop a sense of independence, confidence, and responsibility, setting the stage for a bright and curious future. 

    With a Montessori education, your toddler will thrive in a holistic and supportive community that celebrates their unique spirit and potential.

  • 2.5 – 6 years

    The Windsor Street Montessori School Primary Class offers a Montessori program where each child, respected as an individual, is encouraged to develop their total personality at their own pace and within an individual growth style. 

    In this program, children grow into confident, brave, and kind members of their community.

    The “prepared environment” of the Primary Class allows children to choose activities in the areas of:

    Practical life

    Sensorial education

    Language arts

    Music

    Foreign language

    Science

    Small and gross motor play

    Fantasy play, etc. 

    Each child’s independent effort is fostered and individuality is honored. The outdoor classroom is available to the child as an extension of the indoor environment.

  • 6 – 9 years

    With an individualized work plan and abundant elementary Montessori materials, each student can develop their own interests.

    The Lower-Elementary Class learning environment provides deeper education experiences in the areas of:

    Mathematics (including algebra and geometry)

    Language

    Science and technology

    The world of myth
