Toddlers are terrific.

Some call it “the terrible twos.” We disagree. We love everything about toddlers — their energy, determination and curiosity — and created a very special place for yours to learn.

“Help me to do it myself”

Everything is just the right size.

Getting dressed, preparing lunch, setting the table, sweeping the floor — activities that used to happen around them, they can now do themselves. Being able to do things for themselves creates an instantaneous surge of pride at this age.

Peaceful, not chaotic

Parents are often surprised by the calm tone of our toddler classroom. Fewer distractions help toddlers develop impulse control and concentration.

A beautiful environment

Bright, sunny rooms — a world scaled down to your child’s size. Here your child paints, cooks, waters the garden and sings with friends.

Absorbing language

As words arrive, so do empowerment and confidence. Montessori teachers are trained to embrace this emerging independence and create chances to express it.

A community

Children grow together into a close-knit, caring community — learning far more together than any could alone.

A joyful experience

Peek in and you’ll see children who are happy, engaged and deeply connected to their friends and teachers.

Ready to move up

Sometime between 2½ and 3, language and confidence take off and your child wants to know what lies ahead. That’s when they move up to Early Childhood.

Parent reviews
Since that move, his language has skyrocketed, he identifies feelings and he shows a love of learning beyond his age. MCHL isn’t just a school, it is a community of parents and teachers that want the best for their children.
— Eva Kriksciun
Choosing to send our three children to MCHL has been one of the best and most impactful decisions that we have made for them. The administration and teaching excellence at MCHL is unmatched.
