Limited Enrollment for 2021/2022
Montessori Spark Studio
Kindergarten
Spark Studios offer a safe, caring, and warm environment where young children thrive.
The studios are arranged by learning areas: building and design, dramatic play, computers, manipulatives, language, math, science, art, library, and writing. The daily schedule and routines include a balance of indoor and outdoor activity time with plenty of time to play, which by the way, we feel is super important to a child’s development.
Children are encouraged to think, reason, question, develop ideas, experiment and problem solve, as well as make choices and display independence.
Kindness and developing good character is a cornerstone in all we do.
The sound of children’s laughter, the joy of discovery, and a sense of pride in one’s accomplishments are celebrated. Whether unearthing dinosaur bones buried in the sandbox, blending letter sounds to read the first word, navigating the challenges of friendship or learning to identify and express emotions, at Acton Academy Mesilla Valley, the intellectual, social and emotional life of each child is honored.
Mixed-Age Studio
Montessori studios include mixed ages and mixed skill-levels. Peer learning is encouraged as the little ones learn from observing their older friends, and the older children solidify their understanding by sharing with younger peers.
