Our Programs In Downers Grove, IL

Infant/Toddler And Two-Year-Olds

In the infant/toddler and two-year-old classroom, we encourage the child to use muscles and work on coordination and concentration. There is active physical play and times of concentration. Language and movement also dominate daily planning for the classroom. Happy children are those finding out about themselves, others, and their world. If you ask our children who taught them how to read, they usually say, “I taught myself.”

3-6-Year-Olds

The primary program has been designed to meet the young child's social, academic, and emotional needs. A 3-year mixed group allows children at varying stages of development to learn from one another and have continuity from year to year. The Montessori of Woodridge has props for restaurant, shopping, and puppet shows. Gym equipment is also provided. We create plays and write and illustrate stories.
