Little Voyageurs Montessori School, established in 1968, is nonprofit, parent operated traditional Montessori School located in Columbia Heights, Minnesota. The school is dedicated to providing an educational program for children approximately ages 33 months through kindergarten. The program is designed to expose children to a variety of experiences that arouse curiosity and a natural desire to learn, explore, and to develop independence. The program promotes developmental growth at each child's own pace ... mentally, emotionally, socially, and physically.
The Montessori educational program is complemented by an extended day program providing a nurturing, high quality and structured learning environment for the total child. Children generally enter our program when they are between the ages of approximately 2 3/4 and 3 3/4 years old and are toilet trained. For most, the third year (occasionally it is the fourth year) is traditionally known as the kindergarten year. The three-year program allows the children to develop at their own pace and progress as far as they are able. After the kindergarten year, the children leave to attend first grade. Additional flexible extended day hours are available for children who are enrolled in the Montessori program.
Day by Day Child Development Center is dedicated to providing high-quality early childhood care and education for children 6 weeks up to the first day of Kindergarten.
