Montessori and Reggio Emilia, held together by attention.
A Westmont early learning center for children 18 months to 5 years, blending Montessori and Reggio Emilia.
How we see children
We blend Montessori principles with the Reggio Emilia philosophy. Children are encouraged to explore, create, and grow at their own pace. Every classroom is designed to foster curiosity, confidence, and independence. The work is child centered, and it builds strong academic, social, and emotional foundations over time.
In the rooms, that looks like children choosing materials and staying with them. Teachers keep small hands busy and young minds engaged with activities designed for each age group. Project-based exploration encourages creativity, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking. A balanced curriculum combines academics, creativity, exploration, movement, and social development, indoors and outdoors.
Formerly known as Tiny Treasures, the school has been thoughtfully reimagined. It continues the foundation established by Tiny Treasures while introducing an enhanced educational experience. We use a tested, age-appropriate curriculum from 18 to 2 years. We blend Montessori and Reggio learning plans as we are inspired. Families with questions about our standards can ask us directly.

What you notice in practice
Teachers work at the child's level, following what holds their attention. A child who is deep in something is left to finish it. Small groups let a teacher sit close and respond to what is in front of them. The focus stays on the whole child, education and social skills together.
Rooms are arranged so children can reach what they need and put it back. Over the day, there is time for focused work, for movement, and for being outdoors. Indoor and outdoor learning both count. Weather and seasons are part of what children notice and talk about.
How we work with families
At pickup, parents hear what their child explored that day. Teachers share the small discoveries. Questions are welcome at the door, or parents can ask Alisha to arrange a time to talk. Project-based exploration encourages creativity, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking.
The first weeks ease a new child into the room and the group. Families can ask how their child is settling and what the days look like. We invite your family to visit and see whether the school fits. You can ask about the registration steps when you are ready.
