Program One

Infant & Toddler

Daycare · Ages 0 – 3

The earliest years are the most formative. Our Infant and Toddler program offers tender, attentive care in a warm, home-like environment specifically designed for babies and toddlers under three.

Our caregivers follow each child's individual rhythm — sleeping, eating and playing at their own natural pace. The environment is calm, beautiful and filled with age-appropriate natural materials that invite gentle exploration and sensory discovery.

Transitions from home to school are handled with the greatest care. Our low child-to-caregiver ratios ensure every little one receives the individual attention and affection they need to feel truly safe.

Low child-to-caregiver ratios — individual attention guaranteed
Child-led feeding, sleeping and play schedules
Natural Montessori materials designed for sensory exploration
Gentle, consistent daily routines that build security
Open communication with families throughout every day

Program Two

Kindergarten

Ages 3 – 6

The golden Montessori years. This is the period of the "absorbent mind" — when children soak up knowledge with an ease that will never come so naturally again. Our Kindergarten environment is lovingly prepared to feed that hunger.

Authentic Montessori materials cover all areas of the curriculum: Practical Life builds coordination and independence; Sensorial materials refine the senses; Language introduces reading and writing naturally; Mathematics lays a concrete understanding of numbers that underpins lifelong numeracy.

Children work individually and in small groups, moving through the classroom at their own pace, choosing their work with growing autonomy under the gentle guidance of their teacher-guide.

Authentic Montessori materials — Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Maths
Mixed-age 3–6 classroom for peer learning and mentorship
Child-chosen work cycles — building focus and intrinsic motivation
Outdoor learning and nature activities woven into the day
Authentic Montessori materials and purposeful, real-world learning

Program Three

Lower Elementary

Ages 6 – 9

As children cross into the second plane of development, their minds open to the wider world — to history, science, culture and the vast community of humanity. Our Lower Elementary program meets this developmental hunger with the Great Lessons, research projects and collaborative work.

Children begin to understand not just what, but why — developing analytical thinking, moral reasoning and a growing sense of responsibility to others. They write reports, present findings, work in teams and take on real responsibilities in the classroom community.

The Great Lessons — bringing human history and science alive through story
Research projects, presentations and collaborative inquiry
Extended writing, reading and mathematics across the curriculum
Community responsibilities, class jobs and peer mentoring

Our vision extends all the way to age 12.

Our Approach

The Jofad Difference

At Jofad, authentic Montessori principles guide everything — building independent thinkers, confident learners, and children who are genuinely prepared for life.

Montessori Method

Child-led, hands-on, intrinsically motivated learning. Develops independence, focus, and a deep love of discovery that lasts a lifetime.

Real-World Skills

Children learn through doing — farming, baking, design, storytelling, and mechanics. An apprenticeship model that builds capable, confident human beings.

Whole Child Development

Academic, social, emotional and physical growth woven together. We don't just prepare children for exams — we prepare them for life.
