Montessori Academic Program
Put your child in a structured academic program designed to inspire them to learn, grow, and succeed in a caring and safe environment. We accept children ages 1 through kindergarten, and we have Montessori-certified teachers. We are a family-oriented school and were established in Tampa's Carrollwood area in 1976.
Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten
Our Montessori-inspired program for VPK (Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten) and Kindergarten class blends structured early education with child-led exploration. In a carefully prepared environment, children build foundational skills in reading, writing, math, and social development through hands-on materials and guided activities. Our certified educators support each child’s individual growth while fostering independence, focus, and a lifelong love of learning. The program meets state VPK standards while honoring the Montessori philosophy of respect, choice, and discovery.
Toddler Program
Our Montessori-inspired toddler program designed specifically for ages 1 to 2 ½ years old, where independence, discovery, and nurturing care guide each day. Rooted in Montessori principles, our thoughtfully prepared environment encourages sensory exploration, early language, and practical life skills. We enrich our learning with the Experience Curriculum for Toddlers, introducing engaging, themed activities that support cognitive and social-emotional growth. Our 1 year old Toddler program runs until 3:00 PM, offering a balanced rhythm of structured learning, outdoor play, and restful quiet time.
Preschool
Our Montessori-inspired program for 3-year-olds nurtures independence, curiosity, and a love for learning through hands-on exploration and purposeful play. Rooted in the Montessori philosophy, we provide a thoughtfully prepared environment that encourages children to make choices, develop practical life skills, and build early literacy and numeracy foundations. Guided by trained educators, each child is supported at their own pace, fostering confidence and a sense of belonging.
