Session Options

Children are welcome to start at the preschool from the age of 2 years. 

We currently offer the following sessions:

Between the age of 2-3 years, families can elect to attend a minimum of two morning sessions or full day sessions which are:

Morning Sessions:  8.00am/8.30am – 1.00pm (which covers lunch)

Full Day: 8.00am/8.30am – 3.30pm or 4.30pm

Children between 3-6 years:

Four or Five Morning Sessions (8.00am/8.30am – 1.00pm)

This programme is designed for children aged 3 to 6 years of age.  It includes the challenging stimulation of Montessori education in a home-like comfortable environment.  This multi‑age environment allows younger children the learning advantage of watching and working with older ones, while older students have an opportunity to be leaders and teachers.  Offering four or five mornings is consistent with the Montessori philosophy.  It creates consistency in the classroom and supports children developing routines and sense of well being and belonging.  By attending four or five morning sessions children develop social skills thereby creating a sense of community within the classrooms.

Lunch (12.00pm – 1.00pm)

We offer the option of children staying for lunch until 1.00pm.  Children booked until 1.00pm will enjoy the opportunity to sit with friends and enjoy a leisurely lunch within a social setting. Children will bring lunch from home.

Full Day Sessions (3.30pm/4.30pm)

Each child’s own personal learning and interests continue during the afternoon sessions as well as a programme that extends the Montessori materials and the children’s experiences within a peer group situation when they are ready.  This programme includes a variety of group lessons, activities and projects.  There is a choice of attending Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.  Families are welcome to do a composition of afternoon sessions in conjunction with either four or five morning sessions.
