Educating for Kindness
Our microschools offer our Montessori anti-bias, nature-based curriculum for children 2-5YO. We welcome all types of learners at all of our locations.
Filled with light, our indoor spaces allow for mindful and focused work. Daily time in the outdoors invites our children to connect with the natural world while supporting their physical and mental well-being.
At school locations with co-working office space on site, we welcome the adults so they have also have a calm space to get work done!

Our Montessori program is infused with place-based and play-based learning with an anti-bias and nature-based curriculum. This means that children are learning from and through participation in the community that surrounds them.
See: our school curriculum.
Children become problem solvers working with open-ended materials; creative thinkers through music and the arts; and empathetic community members with our strong focus on social/emotional development.
We provide a wholesome and organic morning and afternoon snack so families are only packing up lunches and nothing else!
Ex snack: hummus, whole wheat crackers and cucumbers OR strawberries, pretzels and yogurt.
Some school locations have a designated co-working space so that parents and caregivers can work comfortably while we care for their children.
To honor our nature-based learning emphasis is placed on spending as much time in the outdoors as we are able!
All indoor spaces have HEPA air filters and direct ventilation to the outdoors.
