• UPPER ELEMENTARY

  Nine-to-twelve year-olds begin to appreciate that different people think and feel in different ways. In Upper Elementary their thinking becomes less literal; they see shades of gray – and they love to argue. They understand that risk and error are essential parts of learning and growing.

• CHILDREN'S HOUSE

  From three-to-six years, children take in vocabulary like a sponge. LMS Children’s House teachers are expert models, and the children mimic their every move. They pour, and build, and lace, and line things up, and count, and sound out words… over and over. They choose their work, do it for long periods of time, and put it away.

• TODDLERS

  LMS teachers help Toddlers leverage their deep attachment to their family so they can begin to separate. Toddlers get out of the car and walk into school on their own. They proudly hang their own coats, stow their own shoes, pour their own drink of water, chose their own work and then put it away. They notice the other toddlers and begin to socialize.

• INFANTS

  Before children come to LMS, they learn as infants to interact with their parents, experimenting with cause-and-effect to see what they can count on. They drop things, knowing that parents will retrieve them. They make all manner of sounds, noticing which ones get the reactions they desire. They make their hands work for them, and they strengthen their core to hold themselves up.
