What ages does Montessori serve?

Montessori education is designed to cater to a broad age range, typically encompassing children from infancy through young adulthood, specifically from birth to 18 years old. This educational approach is divided into several key age groups, each with tailored programs that align with developmental stages:

• Infant/Toddler Programs (0-3 years): These programs focus on nurturing infants’ and toddlers’ natural growth and development. They emphasize sensory exploration, movement, and social interaction, providing a foundation for later learning.
• Primary Programs (3-6 years): At this stage, children engage in hands-on learning experiences that promote independence, curiosity, and social skills. The curriculum includes practical life activities, language, mathematics, and cultural subjects designed to foster a love of learning.
• Elementary Programs (6-12 years): Montessori elementary education builds on the foundation in primary years, encouraging children to explore subjects more deeply. Students engage in collaborative projects, critical thinking, and self-directed learning, covering various topics from science to history.
