2.5 - 5 YEARS
Preschool Clusters

At The Capitol School, our Montessori Preschool clusters serve children ages 2.5 to 5, providing individualized education in a child-centered environment. Specially designed materials present a multisensory approach to learning, focusing on language, mathematics, sensorial development, practical life skills, and cultural studies. Guided by the Theory of Multiple Intelligences, we cultivate each child’s unique strengths and interests while encouraging independence and a lifelong love of learning.
