The Daily Rhythm

9:30 am - Children are welcomed at the front door. Please help your child remove their shoes and place them on the shoe rack. Upon entering the environment, please hang your bag on the hooks provided on the wall. The Montessori work cycle starts with each child choosing what to engage with. The adult collaborates with the child, offering help only when necessary. I will guide, collaborate and provide personalised presentations of the materials by observing your child and their interests.

Morning Tea

This is flexible depending on each child’s individual needs. Please pack your child healthy snacks without plastic packaging. I only provide a compost bin for the children to put their food scraps in. Sustainable behaviours are absorbed and embodied by the child only if they see adults doing and participating in them. Additionally, I have a worm farm in the outdoor environment for the children to use.

Food preparation is also provided as a Practical Life work available for your child to choose from.

11:00 – I wind down the indoor session by singing songs on the ukulele. Children have the choice of whether to participate or not. This, too, signals to the children that the outdoor environment is now open. During time spent outside, feel free to chat, discuss or ask questions while your child explores.
