Our Montessori based Spark Studio is designed to build the math, reading, self-regulatory, and social skills needed for success in the highly independent Acton Elementary Studio, or wherever their journey takes them next.

​Our Spark heroes help establish the rules in their Montessori Studio and meet for weekly Town Hall meetings to identify, discuss, and vote on issues that affect them. They practice basic goal setting and complete challenges at their own pace to earn learning "badges" in math, reading, and citizenship. The rest of the time, they learn through exploration in a series of hands-on project Quests and present what they've discovered at an exhibition at the end of each Session.

Give your Child the opportunity to:

  • Learn through play and hands-on exploration
  • Practice basic goal setting
  • Identify issues and vote on solutions
  • Move at his/her own pace in math and reading
  • Strengthen self-regulation

Why Montessori?

An important time for learning is the period between birth and six years of age. Children are eager to learn from new people and experiences. They absorb all the environment has to offer and it is our responsibility to ensure the world they experience is rich, safe, nurturing, and intelligent. The foundation of self-esteem and all future learning is constructed during these early years. Our Montessori based Spark program encourages children to step toward independence in an environment specially created for the developing young learner. This happy and intelligent setting offers your child an opportunity to develop strong social skills as well as explore language, music, practical life skills, art math, geography, science, culture, and large motor activities. In our Montessori - Spark Studio, your child will be introduced to many different concepts and will learn through observing and through direct interaction with our beautifully crafted materials.
