Similar to the Maple Room, this classic 5-day programming for 3 -6 year old children supports the full Montessori curriculum and includes a strong literacy program, extensive cultural themes, science and seasonal explorations.

We offer the traditional Montessori 5 morning (8:30 – 12:15) or 5 extended day (8:30 – 3:30)
schedule.
Ages
A 3 - 6 year old would be appropriately placed in this program. A 4 year old child who turns 5 by October 15th of the following school year can successfully progress to Kindergarten if developmentally ready.
Class Size
Maximum 24 children in the morning. In the afternoon group size ranges from 16 - 18.
Ratio
Approximate 8:1 ratio with 3 teachers depending on exact enrollment.
Classroom, Circle Time & Curriculum
The traditional 5 day programming permits a full Montessori Curriculum. New materials and whole group lessons are presented at circle time. As well, children benefit from small group and individual lessons. The consistent 5 day programming allows an in- depth study of curriculum areas such as science, cultural, geography and peace.
