Neverland Learning Center is an experience and play based learning center for children ages 6 weeks through 10 years old. When children play well, they also speak well, have better social skills, manage stress better, learn resiliency, and have a better respect for learning. Children learn better when given the opportunity for hands on experiences, where they are learning through doing, experiencing, and creatively manipulating to find their own understanding of the world. We provide an early childhood environment and that offers an extension of a home atmosphere, while giving the children the ability to take the necessary developmental steps to work independently and cooperatively. Our teachers encourage children to act in a caring, responsible, and respectful way towards the environment, themselves, and each other. Children are natural explorers, and our curriculum is designed to inspire them by doing and showing us through experience when they are ready for the next developmental steppingstone. Each month, the children will learn by experiences that are filled with activities, books, sensory activities that correlate with the topic for that month. Our curriculum integrates all the domains of child development, which include: Creative Development Physical Development (Gross and Fine Motor) Language Development Social-Emotional Development Science (Cognitive) Mathematics (Cognitive) Self-Help Moral Development No developmental steppingstone goes unturned. While at Neverland Learning Center, children are free to expand on their individual interests and explore new curiosities to develop a sense of wonder.

Bridges Montessori offers high quality Montessori-based care and learning programs to children in Towson, Bel Air and the surrounding areas. We offer programs to meet both the care and learning needs of children from infancy through elementary. Our Infant &amp; Toddler program is designed for children between the ages of 6 weeks and 24 months. This program focuses on providing a safe, nurturing, home-like environment for our youngest students while still promoting age appropriate development and learning through the use of multi-sensorial materials. Our Transitional program is designed for children between the ages of 2 and 3 years old. These classrooms are modeled very closely after our Traditional Montessori classrooms, but are modified to meet the needs of the younger child. The Transitional program offers students learning opportunities in self-care, social interaction, care of the environment, art, sensory exploration, language, math, science and geography. Our Traditional Montessori classrooms are designed for a multi-aged grouping of students, ages 3 to 6 years-old. Students are able to progress at a learning pace appropriate to their individual needs, while still reaping the benefits gained by participating fully in a functional, healthy social group. As the child grows, they accept increasing levels of personal responsibility for themselves, others and as a member of the school community. This directly translates to a sense of independence, confidence in being able to learn and pride in one's role within a group. Our Elementary Montessori classroom is lead by certified Montessori teachers and experienced assistants. A complete set of the age appropriate Montessori learning materials is available in each classroom, along with ample teacher created materials. The curriculum is individualized to meet each student's needs academically, physically, socially and emotionally, as they progress from the very young student entering Elementary school through the experienced, accountable, self-directed older learner.
