Founded in 2002, The Montessori Academy of Colorado is a non profit organization. Based in Denver, Colo., it offers programs for children from six weeks through six years old. The school provides an array of programs, such as nido, toddler community, primary/pre-k, extended-day kindergarten and before and after school enrichment programs. The toddler community program renders activities that teach the care of oneself and the environment, foster gross and fine motor skills and provide structure and organization for pre-academic learning.
