MSA has 1 preschool classroom for ages 2 - 4 years and 2 classroomsfor ages 3 - 6 years.
Teachers are Montessori trained and classrooms are fully equipped with Montessori materials.
We offer a variety of schedules from mornings only to extended day as well as a summer session.
Our students have the freedom to progress at their own pace,
explore their world with self-led activities, and draw their own
conclusions. They gain knowledge, build confidence, and develop a
lifelong love for learning.
We understand that each preschooler is unique and at different
stages of development, so we don`t compare abilities or encourage
competition. Rather, we observe each child`s interests and build
individualized lessons around them. When they graduate, they will
be confident in taking the next steps of their educational
journey.
