Casa program
Age 3 to 6 years
The Casa years are an exciting stage in your child’s development. Our program, based on Dr. Maria Montessori’s educational principles, nurtures the whole child—intellectually, socially, physically, and emotionally.
In our child-centered classroom, children learn through hands-on exploration with all five senses. They work at their own pace and choose activities that spark their curiosity in reading, math, history, geography, and science. Learning becomes a joyful process of discovery that builds concentration, motivation, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
With a low teacher-to-child ratio, our accredited Montessori teachers guide each student toward confidence, responsibility, and strong social skills. Outside the classroom, children enjoy enriching field trips and outdoor play that extend their learning beyond the prepared environment.
Most three-year-olds begin with a half-day schedule, while older children benefit from a full-day experience. By the end of the Casa program, students are well-prepared—academically, socially, and emotionally—for the transition to elementary school.
