The Toddler Program at MCS is a place of wonder, where our youngest learners begin their journey of independence and discovery. In this nurturing environment, children explore the world around them, developing their motor skills and forming early social connections. Through nature and hands-on activities, each day is filled with opportunities for self-discovery. Carefully chosen materials help build fine motor skills and introduce a sense of order in a simple, magical way. This strong foundation of independence prepares them for the exciting new challenges of the Pre-Primary Program.

The Pre-Primary Program at MCS is where a love of learning truly blossoms. In our mixed-age classrooms, older children naturally model behaviors and skills for their younger peers, creating a community of learning and growth. Through practical life activities, sensory exploration, and early academic concepts in math, language, and science, children engage in hands-on, self-paced learning that honors their unique development. Each day includes time outdoors, fostering a connection with nature and enriching their holistic education. This nurturing environment builds independence, cognitive skills, and a strong sense of community, preparing children to step confidently into the leadership roles of the Kindergarten Program.
