Norbeck Montessori children academic All children enrolled at Norbeck Montessori for the academic year participate in the morning Montessori program. Morning Montessori Program Montessori Program Each classroom consists of children of mixed ages, 2-6 years old. During this time all of the children are completely immersed in the Montessori lessons designed for their individual learning abilities.
