Schedule
Our school year runs September through the end of June. Most children join the children’s house between ages 2.5-3 years, though there is flexibility based on the developmental readiness of each child. The Montessori primary program is a three year program, which includes the kindergarten year; children benefit the most from participating for the full three years.
Our morning and afternoon work cycles are loosely structured to provide maximum flexibility, freedom and choice, allowing us to meet each child’s needs and interests. Throughout the day children participate in individualized lessons in practical life activities, sensorial materials, language, math, science, geography and cultural studies. We also enjoy group games, stories, music, dancing, yoga, gardening, walks in the neighborhood and outings to our local parks.
