Programs & Tuition

    One school, three programs, every stage from six weeks to six years.

    Infant care, toddler care, and Montessori preschool through Kindergarten, all under one roof. Prepared classrooms at every age, and hours built around a working family's day. Children move up when they are ready, never rushed, never held back.

    The age when they want to do everything themselves

    Toddlers are hungry to do it all on their own. We give them a real environment to practice in — child-sized tools, purposeful work, and the time to get it right — building independence, language, and confidence in the process.

    Where the skills that carry them through school take root

    Reading readiness, math foundations, deep focus, and self-regulation — this is where your child builds the skills that carry them through elementary school and beyond. Most LSAOC preschoolers are reading by the time they reach Kindergarten.

    Children join as preschoolers at three and stay in the same classroom through TK and Kindergarten. The older children take on the lead work of the room, and the younger ones learn by watching them.
