Every morning our children gather outside (weather permitting) as an all school event for our morning assembly. They line up with their class at the flagpole and do the Pledge of Allegiance and then say the following Pledge to Myself:
I Pledge Allegiance to myself and who I want to be. I can make my dreams come true if I believe in me. I promise to stay in school, and learn the things I need to know, to make the world a better place, for kids like me to grow!
The Montessori program allows some flexibility to best suit the children's learning environment. The activity schedule below shows examples of the daily routines of our different groups. We have developed a successful schedule that allows the children to have a well rounded, developmentally appropriate environment. Each group includes instruction in Spanish, Sign Language, Practical Life, Montessori jobs, presentations and circle time that includes virtue discussions and flashcards. The morning extended care is conducted inside, and afternoon extended care is generally outside until 5 p.m. (depending on weather conditions). Snack is included and is served between 9 -10 in the morning and 4-4:30 in the afternoon. Our children are given the opportunity to develop independence, learn social skills and benefit from having caring teachers and a bright, clean environment.
