Lifetime Montessori School

From the Director:

Our program prepares your child to become a lifelong learner and problem solver. Lifetime Montessori School’s mission is to foster a nurturing environment that is physically and psychologically supportive of learning for toddlers through kindergartners. We offer a cooperative and enriching atmosphere where your child will develop their knowledge through self- and teacher-initiated experiences. When children graduate from Lifetime Montessori School they are confident, secure, independent and joyful learners.

Children need an interactive, hands-on, educational environment to become self-motivated and successful learners. Here, children are free to explore with their senses to fully understand the world around them. In this way, our 3-year Primary Program provides children the security and consistency so important at this stage of their development.

Lifetime Montessori provides an educational program of excellence based upon the original Montessori principles of humanity, focusing primarily on the fundamental law of self-construction. At Lifetime Montessori the child develops his or her own will, self-control, concentration and intellect. Utilizing time tested Montessori principles engenders self-esteem, independence and a sense of responsibility.

Our Primary Program, for children ages 3 through Kindergarten, starts at 8:30 am. The children work within the classroom at their own will until 11:00 when the group gathers for songs and community time. After playing on the playground for a half hour the children eat together and are ready to go home, nap or continue working by 12:30. For those staying in the afternoon they have the choice of napping in the classroom, or getting advanced lessons on reading, math, science, etc. The full day ends at 2:30 but we offer many after school enrichment programs and provide care until 6 pm each night.

Our Toddler Program, for children ages 18 months to 3 years, starts at 9 am. The children work within the classroom at their own will until 10:30 when the group gathers for snack, songs and community time. After playing on the playground for a half hour the children eat together and are ready to go home or nap by 12:00. The full day ends at 3:00 but we offer many after school enrichment programs and provide care until 6 pm each night.

Teachers send weekly emails to the parents and are on school grounds for an hour after the children leave so that they may call, email or meet with parents. Parents of toddler students will also have access to a daily log of information about their child.

We ask all parents to bring their child to meet their new teacher before the first day of school. Parents also have the opportunity to bring their child for visits/observations before their first day of school if needed. Toddler students are offered a week of transition before starting their full schedule.
