Frequently Asked Questions

Franklin Montessori School offers year-round and academic-year programs for children ages 3 months through 9 years, including: Infant Program (Ages 3–24 months): A nurturing full-time environment blending Montessori principles and RIE methodology. Toddler Program (Ages 2–3 years): Fosters independence, speech development, fine motor skills, and toilet learning. Primary Program (Ages 3–6 years): A comprehensive three-year cycle covering practical life, literacy, math, science, and an accredited Kindergarten year. Lower Elementary (Grades 1–3 / Ages 6–9): Hands-on academic mastery and independent research in a multi-age learning community.

Toilet training is not required for children entering our Infant or Toddler programs; our educators actively partner with families to support toilet learning. Children entering the Primary program (ages 3–6) must be independently toilet trained.
