Early Childhood Education
The child in this preschool (lower early childhood) program is provided with an opportunity to learn under the direction of a trained Montessori teacher. The children gain experience in work concentration habits and socialization skills within a play type atmosphere. It is known that the age of this child tends to exhibit a carefree attitude while practicing a sense of play in a style known as "parallel play". The daily schedule consists of work time with the materials, an outdoor play time and a group structured time where sharing, songs, demonstrations of materials, songs and stories are explored. This program may be in a schedule of two, three or five days per week. During any of these programs, snacks are provided as well as an optional nap for those children remaining through the extended portion of the day.
