Children’s House (3-6)
Our Children’s House is a three-year program, developed to suit the individual developmental needs of all children. The objectives for students center around nurturing a lifelong passion for learning – through developing self-esteem, independence, and a sense of order. The curriculum includes work in math, language, science, geography, sensorial and practical life.
Kindergarten Year
The Kindergarten year is the final and culminating year of our Children’s House program. Children receive dedicated Kindergarten community time in the afternoons and publish their Kindergarten books, which are featured at our Young Authors’ Tea each April.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does The Glen have a half-day or part-time option?
Most families choose the regular school day option, which runs from 8:30 am – 3:15 pm. However, The Glen offers before and after-school care for students from 7:45 am – 4:30 pm. Some families choose a half-day option for 3 and 4-year-olds. Kindergarten does not have a half-day option.
How old does my child have to be to attend Kindergarten?
The Glen’s policy on Kindergarten reflects the policy of the family’s home school district. However, a child’s academic and social-emotional progress is never halted in a Montessori setting, regardless of that cut-off date. Some Kindergarteners are working on identifying letter sounds and some are reading chapter books.
Does The Glen provide snack/food for my child?
Each family is asked to bring in a snack in once a month for the classroom; The Glen provides the remainder of the snacks. Lunch is provided by families. On Fridays during the school year (September – May), there is the option to purchase pizza. Upper Elementary students provide this service, as a fundraiser to help support their annual attendance at the Montessori Model United Nations Conference each year.
