Activities
We work on basic skills such as sitting at circle time, waiting for a turn, phonics and pre-academics, socialization, problem solving, language development, and courtesy. We also offer Spanish, music, art, gardening, stories, movement and dance, science, and cooking. Circle time is a time for learning new concepts, stories, music, finger plays, flannel board stories and group games. Our annual "Jingle Bells" concert is a fun and priceless performance we do for the parents just before the winter break. We provide a lunch program during which the children take turns setting the table for all their friends and ringing the bells to call them to lunch. The children love this! We have a small group of children, and are licensed for 12 children with two trained teachers. We are purely an enrichment program for your child's education and enjoyment. We provide snack and lunch with healthy whole grains, and organic fruits and vegetables. We have a fun, shady outside yard with slides, a climbing dome, easel painting, swings and flower gardens for the children to care for. With a large covered deck, we can play outside almost every day, rain or shine.

The Classroom
The classroom is prepared to encourage maximum independence. The children choose individual work activities from the shelf, learn to care for themselves and their classroom and to clean up after themselves with child size tools This enables them to feel the pride of true competence, and promote positive self-esteem as a basis for learning.


Each year in the spring we culminate the grace and courtesy we have learned all year with an fun tea party!
Given opportunities for purposeful activities, and unhurried time to discover them, the child learns through freedom of choice within peaceful structure. Within our busy schedules it is not always possible to provide these benefits for our children, which is why Montessori Fun is a special time for your child.
