Founded in 1980 and accredited by the American Montessori Society, MCS serves toddlers through 8th grade.
We are a vibrant Montessori community where together, through our dynamic and relevant curriculum, we guide students toward self-discovery and the realization of their unique contributions to the world.
Toddler Program (18 months - 3 years)
Our Toddler Program offers a nurturing environment for children aged 18 months to three years, fostering independence, exploration, and a love for learning. We provide spacious and inviting classrooms where toddlers can move freely and engage in various activities tailored to their developmental needs.
Dedicated and nurturing trained teachers accompany a toddler on their journey, offering guidance within the well-designed curriculum. The main focus areas are fostering cognitive/speech/language development, developing fine motor and gross motor skills, introducing grace and courtesy lessons, and promoting independence.
Families have the flexibility to choose between half-day or full-day sessions, with extended care options available to accommodate a range of schedules. Our holistic curriculum emphasizes individualized language enrichment, hand-eye coordination activities, art exploration, and practical life skills such as plant watering and table washing, nurturing every aspect of a child's growth and development.

Primary Program (3-6 years)
In our Primary Program, children aged three to six experience a nurturing environment rooted in the Montessori philosophy. Each classroom is guided by a trained Montessori teacher and an assistant. The classrooms follow a multi-age, three-year cycle designed to cultivate student's unique gifts and talents.
Hands-on experiences with concrete materials help the students thrive as they develop cognitive skills, language acquisition, mathematical understanding, cultural awareness, and social-emotional growth.
A prominent goal of our program is to empower children to construct themselves and realize their full potential through meaningful interactions with their surroundings. The elder (kindergarten) year holds particular importance as students develop essential skills such as independence, collaboration, concentration, and leadership, setting the stage for success in future academic endeavors.
