OUR PROGRAM

Cloverdale Montessori School offers classes for preschoolers, pre-K, and kindergarteners.  We offer a summer program for enrolled students.

 

Our experienced team of teachers specialize the curriculum to meet your child's individual education. Our team creates and prepares materials that are engaging, educational, and progressive.

 

Cloverdale Montessori's classrooms are thoughtfully designed to meet the developmental needs and interests of the students at their level.  Our teachers prepare the environment so that the materials are arranged sequentially.  The work space is inviting and comfortable allowing students to move freely.

 

Our classes are multi-aged, in keeping with the Montessori approach.  The mixed age groups provide for peer teaching, role modeling, building community and leadership experiences.

 

Preschool Hours - 4 or 5 days a week 9:00am to 11:45am

Extended School Hours - 4 or 5 days a week 9:00am to 1:00pm

All Day Hours - 4 or 5 days a week 7:00am to 5:30pm

​

The class sizes are small, with a student/teacher ratio of approximately 8:1.

 

Lunch

If you choose All Day care or Extended Hours, lunch time is at 11:45.  We understand everyone has their own special diets, allergies and health concerns, so we ask students to bring their own healthy lunch.  You may bring in "warm-ups" for your child for the staff to microwave. 

 

Snack Time

Snack time is a very special time for the students.  We ask them to bring in a specific snack for their class once a month.  When it is your child's snack day, they have the privilege of being the leader for the day; ringing the school bell, leading the Pledge of Allegiance, setting up snack, line leader, and sharing.

 

Nap

For the All Day students, nap time starts at around 1:30.  All students may nap or take a rest.  We ask that you bring in a crib sized fitted sheet to cover their nap mat, a crib sized blanket, and an extra small pillow if desired.  For those students that wish not to nap, especially for older students, we provide afternoon enhancement lessons that tend to have more advanced lessons.
