A special place for the beginning years

Welcome to ExcellED Montessori plus 

redefinning beginning years

Expansion Campus Opens August 1st

Babies are born to learn, and our care specialists are born to be an extension of your parental love. When you drop off your child at ExcellED, your presence will still be felt in your child in your absence.  

Our hands unite with your hands to form a bond of comfort, security, and unspeakable joy.

We invite you to come to experience how we are redefining the beginning years. 


Redefining Beginning Years

The most important timeframe in a child’s life is from birth to three. At the heart of the Center of Excellence  (CoE) for Infants and Toddlers is a loving, nurturing, and educational environment based on current research and the needs of today’s children and families. Times have changed, and in most cases, education has not.

Today’s children require a new paradigm of caregiving, and how we care for our children has a profound effect on each child’s development. We question practices that are justified for no reason other than being held as conventional wisdom. We embrace what works and what children need.

How we are redefining quality care 

It takes a village to raise a child and the CoE partners with specialists who help you navigate parenthood. 

Multilingual Children

Research shows that sign language speeds up speech development, and reduces frustration in young children.

Fine Motor Skills

Montessori practical life activities like using tongs to move pompoms from one bowl to another, crushing eggshells, and matching games allow children to develop fine motor skills required for writing.

Montessori and Infancy:  A Comprehensive Understanding of a Miraculous Phase

 It is not our role to fill the child with our perceived ideas about who they should be. Instead, create a loving environment during this formative time that allows your child’s ‘horme’, the unconscious life force, to play out. All we can do is create that safe space for the natural blossoming of the infant, and like a lotus flower, the soul shall reveal itself.  Read More

Primary (36 - 72 Months)

Preschool years give children the freedom to develop as unique individuals. Our preschoolers participate in the Montessori work cycle for the first serval hours of the day. During this time children freely choose to work with Montessori activities in one of the five curriculum areas. New children are guided through the activities and lessons by Montessori-trained educators. 

One of the main goals of the primary classroom is to prepare children for Kindergarten. Kindergarten is a child’s first significant educational transition from toddler exploration to school-age expectations. It is a bittersweet emotional event for both parent and child. It comes with significant changes – no naps, more structure, more expectations, and letting go of your 5-year-old can be hard.

Importance of High-Quality Preschool for Life Readiness

“The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For that is the time when man’s intelligence itself, his greatest implement, is being formed.” – Maria Montessori So what exactly is required to be life ready? 

HOW DO INSECTS LEARN TO BE INSECTS?  Inquiry-based learning 

Do insects go to school? You won’t see an insect graduating from college anytime soon, but insects can learn. Insects use memories to change their behaviors. Honeybees memorize flight routes and communicate with dance routines!
