AABC's Studio

Sparks Studio - Ages 5-8

Embrace independence and being a good friend

Like Maria Montessori, we believe even the youngest child has important work to do: imaginary play, learning how to read, spending time outdoors, and exploring friendships.

The Spark Studio enables the learners to embrace Montessori work and unstructured play to learn real-life skills and develop the independence, focus, and kindness needed to enter an Acton Elementary Studio.​

Spark Learners

  • Grow curiosity through hands-on projects and outdoor adventure "Spark Play."

  • Explore mindfulness, natural interests, and art, and have fun.​

  • Build the foundations of independent learning, reading, writing, communication, and math.
