Casa Dei Bambini

Willow Tree Montessori offers an authentic Montessori experience for children as they work in their self-construction of the person they are meant to become during this place and time in history.

Primary Half Day

(Offered to children ages 3 and 4 years old)

Our youngest children are invited to join us for a complete morning work cycle between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. This provides the opportunity for them to experience the fullness of the Montessori community and to participate meaningfully within the boundaries of their development.

Primary Full Day

(Offered to children ages 3 and 4 years old)

We understand that today's lifestyle often includes a real need for extended care. The Primary Full Day program was designed to provide a flawless integration of the Primary Morning multi-aged environment with activities that support the Montessori philosophy throughout the day, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Extending the day allows the younger and middle children the opportunity to experience the noon meal within the environment. Truly unique and gracious, this daily event is orchestrated by the children. In the afternoon there is time for rest and quiet work. It is a natural extension of the morning work cycle that supports the life of the child.

Primary Kindergarten

(Offered to children 5 years of age)

The Primary Kindergarten Program is essential to the child as he completes the three year cycle. It is a time for consolidation of all that has been experienced during the previous two years. The most advanced work is done during this time as the Kindergartner begins to reach a new plane of development. Our Primary Kindergarten Program is held from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

 

Young Children’s Community

Willow Tree Montessori has expanded its programming to support the first sub-plane of development. Our Toddler program offers the opportunity to awaken to life through self-development and growth within a setting that supports a gentle environment of love, understanding, and respect.

YCC Half Day

(Offered to children 16 - 30 months old)

Families interested in a half-day experience for their young child may consider our YCC Half Day program. Children are immersed in a prepared environment offering a variety of materials with which children may freely interact and explore, while being nurtured by a trained AMI Assistance to Infancy Guide and an Assistant.

This 5-day program is available Monday through Friday between 8:30 am - 11:30 am.

YCC Full Day

(Offered to children 16 - 30 months old)

Willow Tree Montessori’s Full Day YCC program gives parents peace of mind knowing their child is ensconced in a gentle, respectful, engaging environment that supports individual growth while providing awakening social opportunities.
