Established first in 1976 as a traditional daycare, Little Learners Lodge and Montessori of Mt. Pleasant School have evolved to pioneer integrating early theorists' teachings, latest research, and family culture into daily practice. Trusting in the foundational work of Dr. Emmi Pikler and Dr. Maria Montessori, highly specialized mentor guides and early childhood professionals through paraprofessional training, family guidance courses, and daily interactions at the childcare facility demonstrate best practices in supporting the individualized unfolding of each child's unique capacity during the time it matters most, the first six years. We believe that in caring for the well-being of young children and the adults who provide for them, we are caring for the well-being of our future.
