The complete Montessori framework — Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, and Cultural Studies — delivered daily in the prepared environment.
Mandarin + Spanish at Culver City and West Adams. Spanish + French + Tagalog at Downey. Woven into every day — not a separate add-on class.
No summer closure. No early dismissal days that wreck your work schedule. Open every weekday from 7 AM to 6 PM, all 52 weeks of the year.
Premium wooden Montessori materials — pink tower, bead chains, sandpaper letters, moveable alphabet, geometric solids — all included, no supply list.
Ages 2–6 learning together in the same prepared environment. Older children model skills; younger children are inspired. No artificial age segregation.
