Pre-Children's House: (Ages 20-36 months)
Your child will enjoy a variety of challenging and rewarding activities such as painting hats, making window clings and planting seeds. This classroom introduces your child to the developmentally appropriate Montessori materials in preparation for the Children's House classroom. Emphasis is placed on the importance of independence and self-discipline with activities such as: hand-washing, pouring, self-dressing and more. Potty training is not required to enroll in this program. If staying past 11:45 a.m., please have your child bring a packed lunch which will be served at 11:45 a.m. A nutritious snack is provided mid-morning and mid-afternoon. All children will nap from 12:30 until 3:00. Children must be registered for two days per week minimum.
Children's House: (Ages 3-5)
Each week includes stories, songs, food preparation if applicable and creative works. The school is situated on 3 acres of land and includes grassy play areas, woods, sand boxes, swings and outdoor play equipment. The outdoor area is available for free play and all around good fun, like using squirt bottles, blowing bubbles and running through the sprinkler. Consistent with the Montessori philosophy, classrooms are prepared for the various levels of development, according to the needs of each individual child. Prior Montessori experience is not required. If a field trip is scheduled, the child must attend at least three days of that week and the field trip day can be the third day. Children must be registered for two days per week minimum.
Montessori Enrichment Classroom: (Ages 3-5)
Offered June 6th to August 19th. Separate from the weekly themes in Children's House, sessions are available for your child to be in a Montessori-prepared environment led by a certified teacher. This classroom is specifically designed with opportunities for lessons and use of Montessori materials in math, language, and sensorial areas. Practical life and cultural areas will also offer an enriched focus on cooking, music, science and art. Outdoor activity will be incorporated daily, weather permitting. This setting provides an excellent opportunity for students to remain current with skills acquired during the preceding school year, as well as an introduction to students who join us in the fall. Children must be registered for the entire week in order for this program to be effective as the daily lessons build on each other.
Elementary: (Grades 1-8)
Students will have the opportunity to experience many different worlds and areas of interest. The morning is a time of exploration in the classroom with different themes each week, and may include a field trip related to that area of study on select Fridays. Each afternoon will feature a range of activities, including swimming three times per week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. On Tuesday afternoons, children will be treated to Zumbatomic, a health and fitness dance class. Thursday afternoons include various activities designed to accommodate the interests of the children and their varying levels of ability. In addition to the themed programming available to the elementary students, we also offer Math & Language Enrichment for students who will be enrolled at MSW in the fall. This program is offered each morning from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. and is limited to 10 children per week. In order for the Math & Language program to be effective, families must select five consecutive days on a week-by-week basis.
