Early Learning
Traveler, your footsteps are the path and nothing more; traveler, there is no path, you make the path by walking.
Antonio Machado
Welcome to Montgomery Early Learning—a place for little explorers to wonder and discover and make their world just a little bit bigger.
Playhouse
The Playhouse preschool program, created by SALT Performing Arts, offers a dynamic fusion of artistic expression through its signature programs in dance, music, movement, and dramatic storytelling. Designed for children ages 3 and 4, the Playhouse fosters confidence and kindness, providing a strong foundation during these formative years.
Children are guided along in their social and emotional development while learning how to collaborate with peers to socialize and problem solve. During their time in Playhouse, children establish the foundational social and pre-academic skills that support their transition from home into the classroom, as they build confidence and discover their love for learning.
The youngest children in our Early Learning community, our Playhouse students are age 3 by September 1 and must be fully potty trained by the start of the school year. Playhouse is offered 5 days a week as a full-day or half-day program. The half-day program runs from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. and the full-day program runs from 8:30 a.m. - 3:15 p.m. For children needing care beyond the end of their school day, please review our aftercare options.
PreKindergarten
Through a blend of structured learning and imaginative play, our focus in PreK is to prepare each child for the exciting challenges of the primary years. The PreK curriculum emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, problem solving, and fostering relationships through lessons in language development, early reading, and basic mathematical concepts, as well special areas including phy ed, technology, science, Spanish, art, and music. As they transition to kindergarten, they are ready to navigate new experiences with the foundational skills they need, a strong sense of self, and a sensitivity to others.
In PreKindergarten, students learn in an activity-based classroom through a variety of activities such as dramatic play, music and movement, art media, and motor manipulatives, building layer upon layer of what they already know. The PreK program is offered Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 3:15 p.m., with limited spaces available for half-day PreK (8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.). For children needing care beyond the end of their school day, please review our aftercare options.
