At Corvallis Montessori School, we honor each child’s unique developmental journey through beautifully prepared environments, multi-age communities, and purposeful work. Explore our programs below to find the right fit for your family.
The Toddler Program (Ages 15 Months to 3 Years)
In our Toddler communities, young children find a peaceful, nurturing environment designed to feed their “absorbent minds.” Through real-world activities, toddlers build a strong foundation of independence, confidence, and language development.
- Our Classrooms: Ponderosa (15–30 months), Willow, and Hazelnut (ages 2–3).
- The Focus: Exercises of practical life (including food prep and toileting), sensorial exploration, and speech development.
- Enrollment Tip: Spaces fill quickly, particularly for our youngest group. We strongly recommend applying one year in advance.
The Primary Level (Ages 3 to 6 Years)
The Primary Level—comprising the Preschool and crucial capstone Kindergarten year—introduces children to a vibrant, multi-age community. Here, children transition from concrete hands-on materials to deep, abstract understandings of the world around them.
- Our Classrooms: Ginkgo, Bamboo, and Maple.
- The Focus: Language and early literacy, a concrete foundation in mathematics, cultural studies (geography, botany, zoology), and daily indoor/outdoor work cycles.
- The Result: Graduating students who read, write in cursive, understand mathematical operations, and possess an exceptional sense of self-mastery.
