Within an Infant/Toddler Montessori environment, the child feels empowered to develop. The materials within the classroom are chosen specifically for the age of the child. Self-contained "work" is placed on a low shelf, so that the child can easily utilize them. A small rug is provided to define a child's personal space; one in which they can feel independence of others in their selection of materials. All aspects of the environment are inspected to insure safety & security of a child being able to fully explore at their own developmental level.

The Montessori Method focuses on allowing a child to learn in a hands-on environment, that is custom-made to each child's individual educational needs. The children work with materials that are self-contained and placed on shelves for easy accessibility. Every month we focus on several different educational themes to enhance the learning process, so that the children are exposed to as many concepts as possible.

Our total classroom area is 450 sq ft. Children work in the areas of Sensorial, Practical Life, & Language; with highlights in Math, Science, Board Books, & Object Permanence. We are also teaching the toddlers Spanish in the form of letters, numbers, and object recognition. Our classroom is split into two distinct areas, Infants/Young Toddlers and Older Toddlers/Preschool so that both age groups can work on activities that are age-appropriate to their different educational needs.

Our program includes nutritious Organic Meals & Snacks provided for your child. We proudly choose Un-Processed Whole Grain breads & cereals, BST free milk products, Nitrate-free meats, and fresh fruits & vegetables. We do not serve meals that have high-fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, sodium nitrates, aspartame/sucralose, or Bovine Growth Hormone injected milk products (cheese, milk, or yogurt). This is to safeguard the health of the children enrolled in our program as much as we can. Our menus exceed the criteria of the Federal Food Program that our school is enrolled in to provide meals to the children.

Our home-based school is enrolled in Roseville's Green Energy Program and the PG&E Climate Smart Program to show our support for using renewable green energy such as wind and solar power.

Parents are able to enjoy the comfort of a safe in-home program, with a separate classroom in a small group setting. Our overall group size is small compared with most Childcare Centers. We offer a 1 teacher to 6 children ratio with a maximum of 12 children and 2 teachers in the classroom.
