A Typical Day

Children's Day Montessori 

7:30 am (7am option for a nominal fee) - 8:00am Children arrive at various times according to schedules of their parents. Children arriving before 8:00 a.m. go to our child care room and may choose to read books, play games, or do artwork.

8:00 am - 12:00 pm Children go into their Montessori communities. During this time, children are encouraged to concentrate on their works; they will make choices regarding which works to do, when to have snack, etc.  The teachers provide assistance and guidance to each child as needed, as well taking time to observe the children at their work.  During this morning work period, each class has a Line Time, providing the children the opportunity for large body movement, singing songs, reading books and poetry and other activities.
