Full Day Preschool
Mon–Fri, 8:30-3:30pm
3-6 years old as of Sept 1
Full Day Preschool is designed to allow parents and caregivers an opportunity to find a few more hours in the day, while their child is in the best educational setting possible. Our Full Day students begin their day in one of our Morning Classes, following a traditional Montessori Morning, with work time, outside play time, snack, and whole-group time or, as we call it, Peace Circle.
After the Morning session is over, the Full Day children transition to the Yellow Room to eat lunch with their teachers. They use the lunch period to practice Grace and Courtesy, while sharing a meal with their classmates. After lunch, all of the children are given an opportunity to rest. For some of the children, this time will allow them to take a nap. But for most, this is an opportunity to turn everything down low, and just practice being still and quiet so their bodies and minds are ready for a few more hours of school.
As children wake up, or are ready, they return to the Yellow Room for special projects, extended learning, and walks through the neighborhood. The Full Day children receive a second snack and end their day playing on the playground with the Afternoon Preschool Class.
The Full Day lunches are catered by the school, however exemptions are permitted for religious or health needs.
