Montessori Three- to Five-Year-Olds

​

All children enrolling in our preschool 3-5 year old program must turn 3 years old by December 1st of the year they enroll.

​

Some of the classes follow the integrated model, which are co-taught with a Special Education teacher, Montessori certified teacher and two teaching assistants. 

Our Montessori classrooms benefit from the added guidance from speech therapists, occupational therapists and social workers. 

​

3 - 5  Half Day Class: 9:00 am to 12:00 pm

3 - 5  Full Day Class: 9:00 am to 3:00 pm                                                         

*Extended morning (8-9am drop off) and afterschool (3-4pm) will also be offered.

LUNCH & REST

Children in full day classes bring their lunch from home.  All full-day children have a rest period after lunch. This gives their bodies time to rest and recharge for the afternoon. In keeping with our philosophy of maintaining a comfortable, homelike atmosphere, our teaching staff supervises lunch and rest times.  

​

Thus it happens that at the age of three, life seems to begin again; for now consciousness shines forth in all its fullness and glory.
