Montessori for every stage of early childhood

Each Beacon program offers a prepared environment, trained guides, and the freedom for children to learn at their own pace, from first steps to kindergarten.

Toddler Program

A gentle, prepared environment where our youngest learners build independence, language, and coordination through purposeful, hands-on activity.

The toddler years are a time of remarkable growth. Children are building trust, exploring independence, developing language, and making sense of the world. Our Montessori toddler environment supports this stage with warmth, consistency, and purposeful learning: a calm space, experienced teachers, and predictable routines that help children feel secure.

A typical day

  • Practical life: pouring, spooning, dressing, and caring for the environment
  • Language-rich interaction through conversation, songs, and books
  • Fine motor and sensory exploration
  • Early grace & courtesy that supports social development
  • Movement and daily outdoor time

Primary (Preschool & Kindergarten)

The classic Montessori three-year cycle, where mixed-age classrooms let children move through practical life, sensorial, math, language, and culture at their own pace.

In our multi-age classroom, children begin as beginners and grow into responsible role models and leaders. Across a full day (8:00 AM–2:45 PM) they enjoy small-group and individual lessons, practice their work, and move at their own pace with teacher support, free to choose activities, socialize, and join lessons. The day opens and closes with gatherings for stories, music, and shared experiences.

A typical day

  • A three-hour uninterrupted morning work period
  • Individual and small-group Montessori lessons
  • Practical life, sensorial, language, math, and cultural work
  • Outdoor time and shared gatherings
  • Optional afterschool enrichment until 5:00 PM
