Enriching the lives of the children is what we do here at WTM.

New Haven Ballet

Students are offered the unique opportunity of attending weekly instruction with Tim Fountain, the Children's Program Director of the New Haven Ballet. He has an innate ability to support the child in their exploration of creativity and movement. The Creative Ballet class (our 4 - 6 year olds) provides in-depth opportunities for a classical approach while maintaining an element of fun, movement, and language instruction.

Violin with Mrs. Lane

In supporting the development of the whole child, cognitively, emotionally, socially, and physically, Willow Tree Montessori provides children in the Casa environment a music enrichment opportunity that strengthen concentration, memory, and a sense of order through rhythm and repetition, while also refining fine and gross motor skills needed for practical life and writing.

Through songs, pitch and rhythm lessons weekly, the child will enhance their language development, phonemic awareness, and later pronunciation, which is especially beneficial in diverse or multilingual environments. Our trained music teacher, Mrs. Lane, will respond to the child’s sensitive periods for sound and movement, encourage emotional expression along with providing violin lessons as the child progresses through the enrichment program.
