Birthday Celebrations

In the Montessori classroom, birthdays are celebrated in a unique way. The birthday child carries a globe around a candle (to represent the earth traveling around the sun), one time for each year of their life. At each turn, the teacher tells the story of how the child changed with each year, from newborn to toddler to preschooler and so on. The child is invited to bring photos of themselves for each year of their life so we can see how they changed over the years. This simple celebration honors each child for who he she is and who they are becoming.

Important Dates

~February 10: Kindergarten Picture Day

~February 12: Valentines Day Celebrated in toddler and primary classes

~February 15: President's Day-All Schools closed

The Multi-aged Classroom

Montessori classrooms and campuses are made up of multi-age groups of children. This hallmark of the method, gives older children the opportunity to mentor the younger, allowing them to cement their own knowledge while developing empathy and leadership skills. They also learn the importance and pleasure of having responsibility and being appreciated.

Younger children have the benefit of mentors to look up to and emulate. Observing higher level and more complex activities helps develop curiosity and initiative.

Health and Safety

~We respectfully request that each family remain diligent in their efforts to limit exposure to possible infections. We recognize that we cannot manage what families do outside of school; however, we do trust that our families will take appropriate steps to help mitigate risk to the members of our community.
