Infant Program (Nido Program)
Our school is proud to offer the highest quality care for your child. We accept infants and toddlers beginning at six weeks old and work closely with you to meet their individual needs. Our program focuses on building strong bonds with students. Our teachers, who approach their work with love, kindness, and Christian values, treat the children as if they were their own. They are dedicated to helping students succeed both in school and in life.
"Nido," meaning "nest" in Italian, is a term that perfectly captures the essence of our Nido Montessori Classrooms. These classrooms create a cozy, loving, calm, and home-like environment where our youngest students are free to explore and learn. Designed by Maria Montessori, this environment is tailored to meet each child's individual needs and support them in reaching developmental milestones.
Our classroom is more than just a daycare; it offers a Montessori education that fosters independence in your little ones.
Our Curriculum
-
Our Christian Education program places a strong emphasis on spiritual formation and fostering a deep connection with Christian values. Each day, students engage with Bible stories, sing songs, and learn about the lives of various Church saints. They also participate in prayer before every meal.
Through this curriculum, we aim to nurture the spiritual growth of our students, helping them develop a strong moral foundation and a profound sense of faith. Our Christian Education program is designed to enrich their spiritual lives and guide them in their journey of faith.

In our Sensorial program, students develop essential skills through engaging, hands-on activities. They enhance their hand-eye coordination and learn to distinguish various smells, textures, and sounds. Through interactive experiences with the water table, transferring objects, and playing with rice and moon sand, children immerse themselves in practical life activities that are both fun and educational.
Our Sensorial program is designed to captivate young minds and nurture their natural curiosity, providing a foundation for lifelong learning and exploration.
-
Our Practical Life program is dedicated to fostering independence in young learners. Here, students master essential everyday skills such as putting on and taking off their shoes and jackets, and cleaning up their workspaces. They learn to take responsibility for their environment by throwing away garbage, putting dishes in the sink, wiping down tables, and sweeping the floor. Additionally, they practice important hygiene habits like washing their hands.
Through these activities, children gain confidence and a sense of accomplishment, preparing them for success both in school and in life. Our Practical Life program empowers students to become self-reliant and capable, setting a strong foundation for their future.
-
In our Language, Math, and Science program, students explore a world of knowledge through engaging and interactive activities. They learn to recognize different shapes, colors, letters, and numbers, and begin to develop counting skills.
Our program introduces students to the wonders of science through exciting experiments, helping them understand concepts like weather and more. This hands-on approach not only ignites their curiosity but also builds a strong foundation in these essential subjects.
By fostering a love for learning in Language, Math, and Science, we prepare our students for academic success and a lifelong passion for discovery.
Toddler Program
Teachers prepare the learning environment for children, focusing on fundamental practical life activities, sensorial experiences, art, and music, all aimed at laying a strong foundation for their upcoming preschool years.
During the toddler phase, children absorb information from their environment through observation and immersion in their environment.
Central to the infant/toddler program are everyday tasks and routines, with a special emphasis on sensorial and practical life activities. These elements form the cornerstone of our approach, nurturing independence, coordination, concentration, and order. Our program is thoughtfully crafted to support holistic development, encompassing social, emotional, physical, and cognitive aspects.
