For additional information regarding schedule requirements, please reference The Policy Handbook. This is a collaborative process that has many meaningful layers: wiping tables clean, setting place settings, reciting a poem of thanks, and finally engaging in conversations, stories, and laughs while eating a delicious and healthy lunch together. After lunch, each child is responsible for washing his or her own dishes, and cleaning up their lunch space. Sample Schedule- 8 Hour Day This 8-hour sample schedule offers a suggested daily structure for activities and routines that occur and/or are required in Early Learn classrooms where four-year-old children are enrolled. On rainy or cold days gross motor play will be held in our indoor gym.Īfter outdoor play, the children will come back to the classroom, use the bathroom, wash their hands, and begin to set up tables for a community lunch. Here’s an example daily schedule for our preschool classrooms: Morning. As a micro-school, during this work cycle children will have complete access to our beautiful campus including: a fully equipped Montessori classroom, an outdoor garden, an art studio, and indoor play gym.ĭuring the work cycle your child might be engaged in a number of self-directed, or teacher led activities such as: preparing a healthy snack to enjoy with a friend, receiving a lesson in a group or individually with a teacher, choosing from any number of hands on learning activities in the classroom, circle time, story time, gardening, creating a painting in the class garden, or simply engaging in some conversation with a friend in the cozy corner.įollowing the work cycle, the children will all use the bathroom, and get ready to walk to the park for gross motor play time. We have uninterrupted work cycles in the Montessori classroom, because we understand that young children do not respond well to multiple transitions in the day. The toddler program differs from the primary program in that the children of this younger age group have a two hour uninterrupted work cycle in place of the the three hour work cycle in the older primary class. The “work cycle” is a term we use in Montessori that refers to the time of the day where children freely engage with their environment and all that it has to provide. During the arrival period children will have time to ease into their day by greeting their friends and teachers, hanging up their belongings in their own personal cubby, changing into their indoor shoes, using the bathroom, and then beginning on the work cycle. Arrival for the morning program begins at 8am. ![]() ![]() ![]() The morning program is an integral part of our school. ![]()
