Discovering Minds Montessori School Casa (Preschool, JK / SK) Program is rooted in the philosophy of the educator and pioneer in child development, Dr. Maria Montessori. The program for children aged 30 months to 6 Years offers an early childhood program that creatively engages each child’s potential for learning in their formative years.
Through Montessori-based methods, math and language skills are developed. Practical life skills help children become independent and cooperative members of the community. Daily activities ground the children in self-care and care for one another and the environment
