Montessori Child Development Center

Montessori Child Development Center (MCDC) is dedicated to providing a nurturing and enriching learning environment for children of all ages. We are deeply committed to carrying forward the innovative educational philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, emphasizing individualized learning, freedom within structure, and a profound respect for each child's unique abilities and development.

Our school is more than just a place for academics; it's a vibrant community where children grow, learn, and thrive. We believe that every child is capable of extraordinary things, and our mission is to provide the foundation and support necessary for them to reach their full potential. Families are an integral part of the MCDC community, and we value open communication and collaboration in supporting each child's educational journey.

Our Specialized Programs

At MCDC, we offer a range of carefully crafted programs tailored to the specific needs of children at different developmental stages.

• Toddler Program: Starting at the age of 18 months, our Toddler Program focuses on fostering independence, exploration, and early language development. Our classrooms are designed to be stimulating and engaging, inviting toddlers to learn through play, sensory exploration, and hands-on activities. We understand that each child develops at their own pace, and our teachers provide individualized attention and support to ensure every toddler feels confident and successful.

• Primary Program: For children aged 2 1/2 to 6, our Primary Program builds upon the foundation established in the Toddler Program. Children in this program engage in a wide range of activities designed to develop their cognitive, social, emotional, and motor skills. They explore concepts in math, language, science, art, and culture through hands-on materials and engaging lessons. We encourage children to develop a love of learning and become independent, self-directed learners.

• Elementary Program: Serving children aged 6 to 12, our Elementary Program delves deeper into academic subjects while fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration. Students participate in project-based learning, read classic literature, explore scientific principles, and engage in meaningful discussions that encourage them to question, analyze, and synthesize information. Our dedicated elementary teachers guide students on their academic journeys, nurturing their curiosity and helping them develop a lifelong love of learning.

Summer Enrichment Program

MCDC offers a vibrant and engaging Summer Enrichment Program for children of all ages. This program combines academic learning with fun and creative activities, ensuring a memorable and enriching summer experience.

A Prepared Environment for Learning

Our classrooms are meticulously designed to be "Prepared Environments" based on Dr. Montessori's principles. Every aspect of the classroom, from the carefully selected materials to the thoughtfully arranged furniture, is designed to encourage exploration, independence, and a love of learning. Children are free to choose their activities, work at their own pace, and explore their interests. Our teachers act as guides, observing children closely and providing individualized support and encouragement.
