FAQ

How is class time structured? Class time is structured around the Montessori work cycle, where children receive individual or small-group lessons and choose meaningful work within a prepared environment. The work cycle also includes movement, practical life, art, music, stories, outdoor exploration, and carefully chosen experiences that support independence, concentration, social development, and joyful learning.

How do you assess progress without traditional testing? Through careful observation, work samples, and regular communication with families. Guides track each child’s development and adapt lessons as needed.

Will my child nap during the day? Children who need rest have a dedicated nap time after lunch, while others engage in quiet, purposeful activities.

How does family partnership work? Families receive regular communication about their child’s growth and are invited to partner through at-home support, volunteering, workshops, field trips, special events, and shared community experiences. Families are also asked to contribute ten volunteer hours per school year to support the life of the program.

Is there a long-term option as my child grows? Yes! Our Elementary Program continues through age 12, and priority is given to Primary families as spaces open.
