"A beautiful place where great minds begin."

Infant Program: Available full day only, ages 6 weeks through 24 months. Young children need love, emotional nurturing, and a physical environment that promotes their natural need to learn. The first few years of a child's life are crucial not only to their intellectual development, but also to the development of their personality. Our individualized Montessori approach to infant care will provide learning activities appropriate for your child's age and developmental stage as well as loving care for their every need, with love and snuggles served daily. Please Contact us today for more information.

 

Morning Montessori Preschool Program: 8:30 - 11:30 a.m., ages 2 through 6. The children have group activities and independent work with materials designed to encourage independence, love of learning, respect for others and problem-solving skills.

 

The curriculum includes practical life exercises, sensory materials, oral and written language, quantification and math concepts, science, cultural studies, geography, art, music, body movement, and outdoor play.

 

Extended child care is available from 7:00 to 8:30 a.m. for those needing an early drop-off time. (See Full Day Program for a description of this time period.)

 

Lunch Period: 11:30 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. A snack will be provided during the morning work period and in the afternoon for children enrolled in the full day program.

 

Full Day Preschool Program: 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., ages 2 through 6.  The child arrives between 7:00 and 8:30 and spends the time prior to the morning class doing quiet activities such as visiting with friends, journaling, using puzzles and blocks or looking at books. The child then attends the morning Montessori class and eats at 11:30. A quiet and/or rest time is provided after lunch, after which the child attends the afternoon Montessori class. From 4:30 to 6:00 recreational activities are provided such as outdoor play, stories, drawing, blocks, puzzles, and games. The child may be picked up anytime between 3:30 and 6:00.

 

Touring our School: Although we do have an open door policy we find that is easier for both the parents and the Director if an appointment is scheduled in advance. This process ensures that someone is available to show you around the school at all times. Please call or email and let us know when it is the most convenient time for you and we will work to accommodate your needs.

 

Immunization Records: A copy of updated shot records must be on file at the time of enrollment.

This information can be brought in by the parents or faxed directly to the Director. If your child does not receive vaccinations due to religious or other reasons, please download and fill out the Medical Immunization Exemption form from the Department of Health and Senior Services. This form can be found on their website at www.dss.mo.gov

 

An updated physical form must be on file no later than 30 days after your child is enrolled. The form is available at the school and can be faxed to the Director from your child’s doctor’s office after the examination.
