Casa Program
3 - 6 years | Full Montessori curriculum preparing children for academic success
About the Casa Program
We are pleased to offer our Casa Program, which presents the complete, authentic Montessori curriculum within thoughtfully designed mixed-age classrooms. Children ages 3-6 learn together in a natural, family-like community where older children naturally mentor and guide younger ones, while all children progress at their own individual pace, honored and respected for their unique learning journey.
This comprehensive program thoughtfully prepares children not only academically, but also socially and emotionally for their future educational journey. Through our carefully designed curriculum and expert guidance, children develop independence, deep concentration, and a genuine love of learning that will serve them beautifully throughout their lives.
