Extended Day (Ages 5 to 6)
(THIRD YEAR/KINDERGARTEN YEAR)
The child has a fundamental role in the construction of the human being." - Maria Montessori
The children in the third year of the Primary class, usually five-years-old, are ready to extend their morning work time. At this age, the children have developed skills in order to be leaders in the classroom. They balance their time between academic pursuits, social interests, and classroom leadership.
These children bring lunch and continue their day until 3:00 p.m. During the afternoon session, the children are expected to focus on complex and lengthy lessons especially involving the Montessori writing, reading, geography, science, and math materials. Self-discipline and independence are encouraged and expected at this age. Their hard work of the last two years culminates in the third year in an explosion of language, reading, writing, and mentorship. Children in the Extended Day program also have art studio, theater, and afternoon Spanish.
