Children’s House Program

In a Montessori Children’s House, the daily routine is designed to nurture the whole child, balancing structure with freedom to encourage independence, creativity, and growth. The day begins with a calm arrival and Circle Time, where children connect with one another and prepare for the day ahead. Central to the routine is the **Montessori Work Cycle**, a three-hour period that allows children to engage deeply with self-chosen activities, fostering concentration and a love of learning. Movement and free play are woven into the day, as physical activity is essential for a child’s development and aligns with Montessori’s belief in learning through exploration. On days when special presentations, like science or cooking activities, are planned, one of the work cycles is devoted to these experiences. This flexible yet intentional routine provides children with the opportunity to grow in confidence, social skills, and self-reliance, all while being guided by their natural curiosity and intrinsic desire to learn.
