8:30 – 12:30
A perfect way for a child to experience Montessori education without a full-day commitment. Includes lunch.

8:30-3:00

The children come into the Pre-K classroom following recess and they begin a short state mandated rest period. During that time a teacher reads story books to the children. Following that, they may be given a whole group lesson, or they are invited to choose a work of their own. Occasionally an assignment is given to reinforce the lesson. This class provides the perfect segue to prepare the children for their next season in life, Kindergarten.

8:30-3:00

The Kindergarten year is the completion of the three-year cycle in an Early-Childhood Montessori education. It serves as the fundamental and final year for children to integrate the education from their first two years into a developed understanding of the world and their own capabilities. Kindergarten students blossom into leaders in the classroom, teaching and guiding their younger peers and continuing to grow in responsibility for their own learning. This relationship is empowering for all students, proving a mastery of knowledge and application of concepts towards their environment and peers. 

Our kindergarten students spend their morning work time in a mixed-age classroom and their afternoons in a kinder-specific classroom, allowing for the presentation of complex lessons and materials. Our program is designed for children to work individually and in groups on deeper investigations into language, mathematics, science, geography, and history. During the kindergarten year, children have greater opportunities to practice tasks that require stamina, concentration, and cognitive as well as physical skills. Our children grow socially and emotionally as they develop grace and courtesy, practical life skills, and a lifetime joy of learning.

Our Summer Nature Program is designed to take advantage of each child’s innate instincts to explore and observe. Presentations are interspersed with field trips as well as nature walks and talks.

Respect and concern for our natural world can only be fostered through knowledge and observation.

We offer two, five-week sessions.

“In our time amidst the civilized environment of our society children live very distant from nature and have few opportunities to enter into intimate contact with it.”
