Little Birds Preschool is a Montessori-inspired play-based preschool, which supports social-emotional skills, speech and language development and early literacy skills.

We use a theme-based approach that balances child-directed learning with teacher-directed activities. We focus on the development of the whole child by offering a program that nurtures the child’s natural curiosity and sense of wonder, and allows for the unique learning style and development of each individual child. Daily activities are designed to promote development in all areas (communication, cognition, fine & gross motor, social-emotional and self-care) and foster independent learning. Our program provides an encouraging, supportive environment that builds the child’s confidence and forms the foundation for kindergarten readiness and a lifelong love of learning.

Daily activities include: learning centers for free play, dramatic play, sensory-based activities, art, music, math, science, outside play, snack time and circle time.

Little Birds offers a 3 or 4-day/week preschool program for children aged 33months*-5 years-old. This class has a max of 10 children enrolled and 2 teachers.
