Join Us
Our Montessori playgroups enrich children's social, emotional, and cognitive learning by providing a nurturing environment where they can explore and engage with others through hands-on activities. These playgroups encourage independence, foster emotional development through collaboration, and promote cognitive growth with thoughtfully designed tasks that stimulate curiosity and critical thinking.
Learning Through Play
The Montessori Play Group is a daily class that runs for 2 hours for ages 15 months-3 years. The class immerses children in learning through Montessori language, math and practical life activities, fine motor skill development, art, music, dramatic play, STEM activities and more.
Following The Childs Lead
A specialized program that has a small group size to allow for following the lead of each child’s interests and development.
Socialization Skills
The play group will give plenty of opportunity for making friendships and gaining social skills through circle times, snack time, collaborative projects and activities.
Parent Support
We believe it truly takes a village in raising a child, so we want to be there as your village and help support your family! We will include ways to help support learning at home and provide resources for learning about child development. We also will host various events throughout the year where parents will be invited to view their child’s learning and progress.
Experienced Leaders
Our program leaders, Vittoria and Katie, both have 10+ years of working with children along with a BA in psychology, Vittoria is currently working on a Masters Degree in Early Childhood and has a background in Montessori, Reggio Emilla, Nature School and Waldorf philosophy.
Play Group Enrollment
We are rolling admissions! This first step is to schedule a meet and greet session. Then we can discuss what play group days will be the best fit for your child and what availability we have since we do keep our play groups small. You can enroll in as many days as you would like! This gives parents flexibility in those that want more structured weeks for their child to prepare them for school or just would like a one time a week class to get them used to structured settings. We ask for a 6 month commitment so that your child can experience the full benefits of the program since some time is needed for adjustment for the child and observation from our guides to then learn about your child and meet them where they are.
