In Italian, Nido means “nest”. Our MCA Nido Room lays the foundation for the next 6 years for our students. We lovingly care for our youngest learners 6 weeks old – 15 months old. We provide a nurturing, warm, safe environment that meets the needs and progresses each infant's individual growth.
Our Purple Room is dedicated to serving our young toddlers from 15 – 24 months old. Our language-rich large, bright, open classroom allows toddlers to explore and develop confidence in their coordinated movements. Our students learn a sense of order and discover their ability to do things for themselves!
In addition to our special musical production, which involves the participation of our families, our 3 – 6 year old classrooms offers opportunities to attend special field trips, engage in school events, and participate in a multitude of extra-curricular activities. MCA opens the world to our students so they may discover new experiences and learn about themselves!
Our Green Room truly gives 2 – 3 year olds a fully prepared environment which fosters their independence and concentration. In addition to learning important practical life and self-care skills, our students learn social-emotional skills, communication, and community. We introduce and model grace, courtesy, and respect for ourselves, each other, and our environment in everything we do.
Both our Red and Yellow primary classrooms are designed for 3 – 6 year olds. Our program allows children to fully immerse themselves in uninterrupted Montessori Working Time. Students are independent and self-directed; they develop responsibility for themselves, their classmates, and their environment. Their self-confidence and ability to think critically help build their social-emotional development. Outside time is a priority, our students spend quality time outside in our large playground, other neighborhood playgrounds, and on nature walks exploring.
