At Little Feet Montessori in New Market, we believe early education builds a strong foundation for learning, confidence, and independence. Children experience rapid development in their early years—physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually. Moreover, our Montessori programs support growth during this key stage in a nurturing and enriching environment
Why Early Education Matters
In fact, early education is more than just learning the alphabet and counting numbers. We offer hands-on experiences and real-life activities to help children understand their world and enjoy learning.
Studies show that quality early education improves thinking, language, and social-emotional skills. That’s why we deliver a Montessori experience that supports the whole child.
Our Montessori Approach to Early Education
The Montessori philosophy is a child-centered approach that emphasizes independence, respect, and discovery. We intentionally design our classrooms to support exploration, using age-appropriate materials and activities for each developmental stage.
- To begin with, our Toddler Program (16 months – 2.5 years) introduces children to key skills such as language development, fine motor coordination, and basic classification. Through purposeful activities like sorting games, puzzles, and nature-based exploration, toddlers begin to form early connections that fuel lifelong learning.
- Casa Bambino Program (Ages 4 – 6): In this stage, early education expands into advanced academic development. Children work with Montessori materials to master reading, writing, and math. By the age of 6, many of our students read fluently and grasp arithmetic operations—well beyond traditional early learning benchmarks.
