Children are free to work with materials of their choice, alone or with others. The teachers will guide children who need suggestions or help, but the observing child is also respected. Teachers present individual lessons and oversee small group gatherings. The children attend a mixed age group morning class, then meet together in the afternoon for a program of activities including art, language, math, geography, writing, science and physical education. Pre-K students will be introduced to Spanish.
Students bring their lunch.
In the morning the Kindergarten students enjoy a well equipped Montessori environment in a mixed age group setting. They spend the afternoon with different teachers in an enrichment program which includes writing, handwriting, math, music, science, geography, history, drama and art. The physical education program emphasizes gross motor development and includes gymnastics and swimming. A foreign language is introduced with concentration on the spoken language, including songs and games. Special trips are planned during the year.
