Day in the Life
General School Mission
MONTESSORI based philosophy where children get involved hands-on with materials in Language, Math, Art, Pratical life, geography, science, through the sensory system and large muscle. Either one-on-one with a teacher, alone, or with a peer. All advancing their knowledge of the world around them in a calm and peaceful environment.
A Typical Day
Children are welcomed by teachers, they choose their work, open work period for 2 hours (alone, with teacher one-on-one, or with peers), gym, snack, circle time.
Home-School Connection
Parents Say They are Encouraged to:
- Go on field trips
Modes of Communication
Separation
Separation is Handled through:
- Home visits by teachers
- Pre-entry meetings with parents at school
- Parents in classroom early on
- Abbreviated schedule at start of school year
Handling Separation: From the Director
We encourage parents to talk with their child and stay with them in the classroom as long as they need to.
We also do not advocate sneaking away while the child is not looking. This does not honor the light of the child and only makes the child more anxious.
