"Growth comes from activity, not from intellectual
understanding. The liberty of the child should have as its limit
the collective interest."

Day Care and Latchkey
The day care program offers care before and after preschool
and kindergarten Montessori classes. We provide a nurturing
environment that encourages social, emotional, physical, and
intellectual growth. Day care substitutes for a child's daytime
home life, offering a wide range of activities geared to the needs
and interests of small children: cognitive and construction toys,
games, art, books and CDs, blocks, housekeeping, dress-up, outdoor
play, and much more. Children bring lunch, two snacks are
provided, and there is the opportunity to nap or rest as needed.
We work at creating a setting that is both enjoyable and
beneficial for children, and for the adults who care for them.
Latchkey serves elementary and middle school students. It
offers an interesting, enriching before-and-after-school program.
Separate age-appropriate environments for lower elementary and
upper elementary/Middle School are divided into areas that allow
for a wide variety of activities: arts and crafts, board and card
games, construction, puzzles, reading, housekeeping, blocks and
accessories, listening to music, and more. There are group
activities, projects and games, and daily use of the outdoors
and/or gymnasium. Students are free to socialize, or to seek a
quieter space for artwork or reading. After school, a monitored
study hall in a separate room is an option for students who have
homework.
