The Unitarian Montessori provides a rich diversity of programs to stimulate growth in a variety of areas. We offer a low student-teacher ratio taught by certified Montessori teachers. All of the materials that we provide are developmentally arranged and holistically integrated. The materials are presented and available for each child to manipulate, until he/she has mastered the skill or concept. We currently offer a Toddler Program, and a Primary Program with the Kindergarten Program, as well as Before and After-School Care. Our summer program takes place during the months of July and August. The Montessori philosophy is also applied in the design of the Summer Program

The Unitarian Montessori School runs on a ten-month school year. Classes are held daily from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with extended care hours running from 7:30-8:30 a.m. and 3:30-5:30 p.m. (with a possibility to extend to 6 based on demand). A summer program is also available with the same class and extended care hours as above.

Program Overview

Weekly Specials

Spanish

Language and customs are presented in each classroom. Stories, songs and rhymes are used to enhance the learning process. Children will learn names of colors, numbers, opposites, greetings, weather, days and months of the year. Children are free to explore Spanish materials and picture word cards daily during work cycles in the classrooms.

Music

Music at the Unitarian Montessori School includes singing, moving, listening to and using rhythmic and melodic instruments to make music. Music lessons are taught in a small group setting by Ms. Mary Ellen and introduce the young learners to the fundamentals of music theory, appreciation of music as skilled listeners, and the fun of music as a medium for movement and rhythmic play. In the classroom, carefully chosen instrumental music is played quietly during the work cycles or rest time. Listening stations and prepared music work is available on shelves for learners to choose and complete at their discretion.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is paying attention to what is happening in the present moment. Mindfulness can help us learn to focus our attention. It can also help us calm down when we are angry, sad, frustrated, or have any difficult emotion. Mindfulness can help us feel happy too. Children will be practicing mindful bodies, listening to the singing bowl, breathing exercises, observing their emotions and thoughts, calming exercises, feeling gratitude, mindful movement, and mindful eating among others.

Yoga

Even our youngest students are introduced to Yoga with a great success. They eagerly participate and follow simple instructions on stretching and maintaining yoga positions. Positions incorporate animal names and alphabet. Through Yoga our students are given the opportunity to control and relax their bodies as well as calm their minds.

Summer Camp

Summer camp is a eight week program, beginning in the start of July and ending in August. The program is available to children 18 months to 6 years old. Flexible schedules are available. 5, 3, or 2 days per week as full or half days are offered, and extended hours are available if needed. Children may sign up for any number of weeks. Ample time is provided for summer activities, such as water play, music, creative arts, cooking and body movement. We will be cooking using the food harvested from our garden. Each week has a special theme and event happening. Join us for some  summer fun!
