Children learning together at Beaumont Montessori

Programs for Every Early Learning Stage

Our Montessori environments are thoughtfully prepared to support each child’s independence, confidence, social development and natural love of learning.

Infant Montessori learning environment

12–19 months

Nido Program

The Montessori Nido Program is a calm, cozy, homelike environment for babies. “Nido,” meaning “nest” in Italian, captures the idea of warmth and security. Maria Montessori used this word to describe the infant classroom, where little people feel cared for and loved so they feel safe to explore and grow.

Toddler exploring Montessori materials

20–40 months

Bambino Program

Toddlerhood is a time of astonishing growth. Children experience an explosion of language along with dramatic advances in motor control, problem-solving, independence and social interaction. The Bambino classroom offers an environment and community designed to nurture these skills.

Child working independently in the Montessori classroom

3.4–6 years

Children’s House

Our Junior and Senior Kindergarten programs.

This scientifically designed program allows students to direct their own activities while building knowledge, confidence and social skills. Teachers empower children to use materials ranging from practical life activities and geography to language and mathematics.

Practical Life and Independence

Children begin with real-world, purposeful tasks and tools. These lessons help each child recognize themselves as capable and competent.

Sensorial Development

Beautiful sensorial materials invite children to compare, contrast and notice small differences. They also highlight mathematical relationships and strengthen observation.

Reading and Writing

Children build a rich vocabulary, analyze words into sounds and connect phonetic sounds with letters. They gradually move toward composing words, sentences and illustrated stories.

Mathematical Fluency

Concrete materials introduce quantity, place value and the four operations. Children gradually progress from hands-on exploration to an intuitive understanding of abstract numbers.

Math Through the Senses

Engaging materials inspire concrete understanding and joyful problem-solving, building a strong number sense and supporting the transition to abstraction.

Culture and Science

Experiments, natural objects, gardening, maps, flags and cultural photographs inspire curiosity and establish foundations for later study of geography, history and science.

Grades 1+ / ages 6+

Afterschool Program

Our out-of-school care program has limited spaces available for families with a younger sibling enrolled in one of our programs. We provide a welcoming place for children after school and assist with homework when help is needed.
