Our caregiver’s first objective is to nurture those bonds by responding to each child’s needs as they arise. Feeling comforted and confident, your child will venture forward to explore their brave new world.

One of the unique features of a Montessori school is multi-age classrooms. Older students model appropriate behavior and guide their younger peers, all while making academic advancements of their own. Studies have shown that the Montessori Method provides a solid academic basis as well as exceptional social skills that prepare children well for kindergarten.

Kindergarten is a pivotal year. Here at ACA, our Montessori-certified teachers introduce academic subjects such as language arts, math, Spanish, science, social studies, and geography.

Part-time Programs

Not every family needs a full-time, five-day program. Some parents require only a few days to cover gaps in care, or prefer shorter hours to ease a younger child into the school transition. Whether you’re seeking only a few days or a few hours of child care? Check out our flexible academic programs, available as half-day, full-day, or with extended care.
