"Practical life skills are of great interest to young children."
Children love manipulative materials and explore many varied activities, ranging from practical life and social-emotional skills to phonetic spelling and decimal system learning. Full-day, half-day, 3-day, and 5-day programs are available.
Children’s House offers program options for children ages 3-6 (preschool through kindergarten).
Enrolled students can take advantage of before-school care starting at 7:30 a.m. and after-school care continuing until 6:00 p.m.
Our program provides your child with the foundation for a life of creative learning. Children develop and refine a sense of order by engaging in activities ranging from sorting to phonetic spelling to simple mathematical operations. The Day begins with line time, an opportunity for children to sing together or do large muscle movement exercises. This also is a time for sharing news or watching presentations of new materials. After line time, children have “work time,” engaging in activities on their own or in small groups.
After work time, the children have play time outside in all kinds of weather. We believe the fresh air and sunshine are vital; they just need to be dressed for it! After playtime, the children come back to the line to end their morning as a large group. We say goodbye to those who go home and begin preparation for lunch as a group, an activity that includes clean-up done by the children themselves as part of their “practical living” education.
After lunch, it’s time for a story and a quiet time for children ages 3-4. Children enjoy the story and then have 30 minutes of “quiet time” before continuing their work from the morning.
They then begin their “extended day,” which allows for increased breadth and depth in the children’s exploration of the curriculum. This time of day is reserved for advanced math, reading, geography, natural science, and special projects. We will introduce more advanced materials as the year continues. Emphasis is also placed on recording learned information, so children spend lots of time writing and drawing. Children continue these works for the afternoon, stopping at 3:00 to get ready to go home.
We believe that full-day Montessori education at the kindergarten level (age 5-6) is an important culmination of the mental and intellectual tasks the child has begun in Children’s House. In this final year of Children’s House, the Extended Day program provides an opportunity to solidify your child’s experiences and lays the groundwork for what is yet to come in Montessori Elementary.

As a first step, we ask that the parents come visit the school on their own so that they can focus on what occurs in the classroom on a daily basis.
