Program Overview

 Previously called “Childcare,” our before-care and after-care program will be available for students enrolled in our Toddler or Children’s House Programs (Nido is included).  Before-care will be available for any student, full or half-time.  After-care will only be available for full time students as it begins at 3:30pm. 

 Our infant program is called Nido, which is a Montessori term and is Italian for “nest.”  Our Nido program is one price and all inclusive.  The schedule will be determined in collaboration between parents and Nido teachers with a focus on consistency but room for flexibility. 

 Our Toddler program has 4 options including 3 day or 5 day, full day or half-day.  This offers flexibility for parents as they introduce their children to a structured school setting.

Our Toddler classrooms will be determined based on the student’s schedule.  One classroom will be exclusively for our full day students (either 3 or 5 day) and the other classroom will only be for half day students (either 3 or 5 day). 

 Previously called Pre-Primary, our Children’s House program follows a traditional Montessori schedule, meaning 5 days per week, either half-day or full day.  Our half-day students are dismissed at 11:45 while the full day students have the option of joining our Transitional / Kindergarten program or our Full Day Montessori program.  Tuition fees for both programs include enrichment (childcare) until 3:30pm Mondays and Fridays. 

Students can apply to our Transitional / Kindergarten program for their second year of Children’s House or if they are of Kindergarten age.  It is designed to prepare them to enter a more traditional classroom environment such as that of a public school.  There is a focus on academics, following directions, reading, and writing.  This program will finish at 2:30pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, however students have the option to stay until 3:30pm at no additional cost.

Our Full Day Montessori program is open to Children’s House students who are not of Kindergarten age and will include a nap, snack and a second work cycle.  This program will end at 3:30 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and includes enrichment until 3:30pm on Mondays and Friday.
