Our preparatory program is for children who are between the ages of 3 1/2 4 1/2 and years old. In this classroom, children may be new to the program or have graduated from the Casa program. For new children, they will start learning the foundations of the Montessori program, while returning students continue on with their learning. The children in the Montessori program work at their own paces in a non-competitive environment. Thus each child has their own unique learning program.
