Transitional Kindergarten (TK) | 4 - 6 Years | Serving Pasadena, CA

A Montessori-Reggio Approach To Foundational Skills

Blending Montessori’s independence with Reggio Emilia’s creativity, our TK classrooms follow purposeful work cycles in Practical Life, Sensory, Math, Language, and Science activities. Children work both independently and in groups, developing focus, initiative, and academic readiness through meaningful hands-on experiences.

SEL for Resilience & Responsible Choices

Through Positive Discipline and intentional guidance, children learn to regulate emotions, solve problems, and collaborate with peers. Age-appropriate expectations and routines help them build self-control, empathy, and confidence as capable learners and classmates.
