Enrichment Programs
Our Enrichment Programs offer children the opportunity to dive deeper into different areas, exploring interests and building mastery. Offered both during the school day and after school hours.
Montessori Kitchen
Cooking is a practical life skill that involves many familiar subjects, such as math, science, and language but applies them in a natural everyday way. The children will work their way through a recipe, identifying ingredients, measuring and counting what is needed, and then mixing everything together to create a delicious dish.
Exploring the world of cooking and food helps children refine their sensory perception, understand order and sequence, and develop hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
Cooking and reading recipes provides a fun opportunity to learn new words and apply them right away. Children will learn the names of different ingredients, cooking methods, and how to describe tastes.
Adding different quantities, measuring volume, and scaling up recipes is a great way to apply simple math concepts to everyday life. Children will learn different ways to measure and weigh food ingredients, using a range of appropriate tools.
Montessori Garden
Observing, understanding, and cultivating different types of plants builds an appreciation for and understanding of the natural world. In this program, your child will engage with different gardening activities every week, learning to identify and grow flowers, vegetables, and more.
In this program, your child will refine their sensory perception, understand order and sequence, and develop hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
Observing how plants grow provides a fun way to learn the life cycles of various species, and understand how different interventions produce different outcomes.
Exposure to simple agriculture gives children insight into where their own food comes from, what grows in what season, and what types of foods are easiest to produce.
Mini Makers
In Mini Makers, your child will make many things! Sort, stack, stick, or sew; it’s all about creativity and fun. It’s the ideal program for young makers interested in DIY, creating, crafting, tinkering and learning.
Your child will engage in the entire process of building things, from identifying the need, designing the solution, and seeing her ideas take shape.
Working alongside classmates with similar interests, your child will work together to bring creative inventions to life.
At the end of each unit, your child will have something self-designed and self-created to take home.
Creative Arts
A transformative creative arts program designed for young children aged 2 to 6 years. Through focused, small-group sessions, children learn to confidently express their authentic self in a safe and nurturing environment. Children will have plenty of opportunity to engage in process-focused art experiences, such as storytelling, painting, music and movement, which culminates in developing learners who are confident in themselves and their abilities.
Children learn to use art to communicate, mediate their thinking, and explore the beautiful world around them. Learning to produce arts helps them to communicate ideas, build their identity, and understand those of the people around them.
In this program, children learn about different artists throughout history, different art techniques and styles, and art from different cultures in order to develop a fuller understanding of the arts.
Through process-focused art and meaningful stories, children will spend the season learning about ancient forms of art that originated in China. They’ll be introduced to various techniques to help them create their own form of folk art and will learn about folk music and the respective instruments. This theme is a great way for children to learn more about China and how its ancient folk art became an important part of Chinese heritage and culture.
