Extended Day Programs
We are excited to offer the Extended Day Program for children in their pre-kindergarten year. Each day offers opportunities for exploration and fun.
Cultural | Specialized activities using the geography, history, and science materials abundant in the Montessori classroom. Children receive plenty of individual attention and participate through lots of hands-on activities. |
---|---|
Yoga | A certified teacher assists children to develop an awareness and control of their physical body. Yoga is a truly beneficial form of exercise and one that young children enjoy immensely |
Art | An open-ended approach to the world of art. Is offered. Exploration with numerous mediums (painting, sculpture, collage, etc.) gives each child the opportunity to discover his creative self. |
“Follow the Child” | Children express interest in a particular subject or area of the classroom; the teacher supports the child with appropriate lessons and direction. The subject of interest could be dinosaurs, volcanoes, rainbows, or politics…we follow the child! |
Foreign Language | Our children learn another language from native speakers. Our Montessori children have been exposed to a variety of languages. |
Cooking/Baking | Cooking and Baking projects are often coordinated with a cultural study and/or literacy unit. |
Drama | After reading a classic children’s story like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the children take turns acting out all the characters of these beloved tales. |
