About our Program
Why Full Day?
Our program follows a 4 day a week, Monday through Thursday schedule to create consistency, structure, and routine. Our day begins at 8:45 and ends at 3pm.
When children know what to expect each day, it reduces anxiety and can ease the morning transition. They can anticipate their next lesson or activity and look forward to seeing friends. This also develops a sense of community and encourages children to develop a strong sense of belonging, independence, and confidence, which leads to stronger social, emotional and educational outcomes.
Beginning at 3 Years Old
Children need to be 3 years old and potty trained by their start date. This ensures that children are ready emotionally, cognitively, and physically for the program. There is an extensive amount of developmental growth that occurs at 3 years of age and we want all students to be set up for success in our program.
Montessori Work Cycle
Welcome to our Montessori classroom, where education unfolds through exploration, independence, and discovery. A Montessori work cycle is a block of time, typically 2 hours, during which children are free to explore our classroom environment is meticulously designed to foster a love for learning and respect for each child's unique pace and interests. They are also sometimes called work periods.
Our classroom is a happy community. Students are focused. They take joy in their work. They invent, explore, experiment, create, prepare snacks, and curl up with books; they have the opportunity to reflect in a peaceful, meditative corner.
Field Trips
As our facility is nestled within the Wasatch Back and neighboring Uintas, we have access to a wealth of locations that can serve as primary teaching resources. With the freedom afforded by the school van, we can embark on weekly outdoor adventures in areas such as the Unitas, trails in Park City, and the Jordanelle. We believe in the vital importance of encouraging a sense of respect and stewardship for the earth as well as all of its inhabitants.
