Franklin Montessori’s Washington, D.C. location serves children ages 12 weeks through 6 years across three core programs: Infant Program (Ages 12 weeks–18 months): A warm environment blending Montessori principles and respectful infant care (RIE methodology) to support sensory and motor milestones. Toddler Program (Ages 18–36 months): Designed to nurture emerging language, self-care, spatial awareness, and toilet learning within a structured, gentle community. Primary Program (Ages 3–6 years): A multi-age classroom environment covering practical life, sensorial exploration, literacy, mathematics, and the culminating Montessori Kindergarten year.

In addition to foundational Montessori work, Franklin offers dedicated enrichment in visual arts, music, drama, nature, and foreign language. Students participate in hands-on nature discovery programs connecting to nearby Soapstone Valley and Rock Creek Park, and Primary students work with specialists in our art studio.
