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.
Designed to meet developmental needs and serve the whole child, Windsor Street Montessori programs serve children 18 months to 12 years of age.
A Montessori classroom will help your child to thrive.

It’s what allows them to show up every day with the energy and heart your toddlers deserve! We are still a year-round school, just one that prioritizes a rested team.

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