Each stage has its own rhythm.
We honor the unique path of each child. Learn about our year-round programs, from our relationship-focused infant care to our leadership-driven elementary school in Ogden.
Aspen
(0–18 months)
Our Aspen community is designed to feel warm, familiar, and safe. Free of baby containers such as swings and bouncers, students have freedom of movement to build their independence and gross motor skills. Through a technique called sportscasting, young students are exposed to significantly more language than in traditional care. Families are supported with baby-led weaning, a breastfeeding room, and practices that strengthen secure attachment. This space is designed in collaboration with families to honor autonomy and health.
"Even as a first-time mom, I felt completely at peace leaving my baby here. The teachers know how to love and guide the littlest ones."
Parent
Toddler
(18 months–3 years)
Our Maple and Juniper communities foster independence, autonomy, and curiosity. Toddlers engage in care of self, care of others, and care of the environment through child-sized cleaning materials, self-care items, and Montessori learning tools. Staff support toilet independence, making it approachable and stress-free for families. Social-emotional learning is built into the rhythm of the day, helping toddlers develop confidence and empathy.
"My daughter surprises me every day with new words and skills. The staff here see her as her own little person, and it shows."
Parent
Pine
(3–6 years, including Kindergarten)
The Pine community builds concentration, independence, and academic curiosity. Children explore math, botany, geography, and culture through hands-on experiences, guided by their interests. Social-emotional learning and peace curriculum are emphasized, with guides modeling conflict resolution and positive discipline. AMS-certified teachers provide individualized lessons, helping students develop executive function and a lasting love for learning.
"The atmosphere here is peaceful, joyful, and full of curiosity. My child is thriving."
Parent
Elm
(6–12 years)
In the Elm community, students enter a stage of collaboration, critical thinking, and abstract reasoning. Mixed-age groups allow children to create their own work plans, manage projects, and work as a community. Lessons expand into advanced academics and cultural studies. Social-emotional learning is woven throughout, supporting children in navigating friendships and responsibilities with maturity.
"My son has grown in confidence and accountability. He takes pride in helping his classmates and feels a strong sense of belonging."

Our Practices
We are open 35 more days than the public schools in Ogden. This provides consistency for our students and removes the financial and work stress that parents experience when they are left scrambling to find alternative care.
Outside (All Ages)
Every day, every season, children spend time outdoors. Outdoor learning reinforces independence, resilience, and respect for the natural world.
Discipline
We practice positive discipline using redirection, kind but firm boundaries, and social-emotional learning. This approach supports children in building intrinsic motivation and self-regulation.
Learning Environment
Our classrooms are designed for hands-on learning with real materials. They are calm, purposeful, and child-centered — while still reflecting the natural energy of children at work.
Conscious Childhood
We focus on authentic Montessori practice: real materials, purposeful movement, and daily outdoor time.
Sustainable Features
Our school emphasizes trust and communication, through skills like caring for themselves, others, and the environment, we help children see how capable they are and the impact they can have on their greater community.
