Sparks Studio - Ages 5-8
Embrace independence and being a good friend
Like Maria Montessori, we believe even the youngest child has important work to do: imaginary play, learning how to read, spending time outdoors, and exploring friendships.
The Spark Studio enables the learners to embrace Montessori work and unstructured play to learn real-life skills and develop the independence, focus, and kindness needed to enter an Acton Elementary Studio.
