Children age 2–6 and their caregivers are invited to Mini-Montessori! Montessori play is purposeful play that mimics real-life tasks. It focuses on mindfulness during activities and focusing on the task at hand. There is no “right way” to interact in a Montessori setting. The goal is for children to independently interact and come up with their own creative solutions using trial and error.

Developmental milestones necessary for the child to completely interact in this program would be:

Out of teething phase
Moving independently
Ability to communicate and/or follow direction
Comfortable around objects such as rice, paint, and small objects
