PROGRAM INFORMATION
AGES SERVED The Montessori Center offers programs for children three years old through kindergarten. Montessori is a three year prospectus in which the skills a child learns one year are built upon in the following years. Typically children start at the age of three and continue through kindergarten.
YEAR AROUND CALENDAR
While The Montessori Center has a year around calendar, the school does close for holidays, down time, parent conferences, and staff in-service. In order to plan for these closings, a calendar for the entire year is given to parents each spring.
ACADEMIC YEAR
The academic year begins the day after Labor Day and ends in May.
SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM
The Summer Camp program is designed to celebrate summer and to take advantage of warm weather opportunities.
INTERSESSION
Optional interessions are offered to help parents with their child care needs when the school is closed between sessions.
PROGRAM BASE
The base of the program is an Extended Day, which meets from 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
EXTENDED HOURS
The Montessori Center is open from 7:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Additional care before and after class may be contracted monthly or used on a drop-in, space available basis.
KINDERGARTEN / THIRD YEAR PROGRAM
The third year is a truly special experience for the five and six year old. Developmentally at this age, a child's academic skills are ready to blossom with the aid of the advanced Montessori materials. Having come up through the ranks, and now the oldest of a multi-age group, the kindergarten child very naturally assumes the active role of class leader and role model. As children assume this classroom role, leadership qualities are developed as well as self-confidence and self-esteem strengthened.
