The West Side Montessori School's Infant-Toddler & Twos Center offers an authentic, AMS-accredited Montessori environment for the city's youngest learners, from infancy through age two. Carefully prepared classrooms and specialized materials support practical life, sensorial exploration, and growing independence at each child's own pace. Need-based financial aid is available, with roughly a fifth of families receiving support. The center feeds directly into West Side Montessori's multi-age program for continuing students.
