Our day starts with Circle Time, where we come together as a group. Afterward, the children engage in a variety of lessons during the work period, followed by snack time. If time allows, we continue with a second work cycle. The morning ends with outdoor play on the playground, before dismissal.
Parents take turns providing snacks for the class throughout the school year, on a rotating basis.
Each year varies. But we normally have between 14 – 16 children each day.

Montessori promotes self-discipline by encouraging children to make choices, experience natural consequences, and resolve conflicts in a peaceful way, with teacher guidance when needed.
Montessori focuses on child-centered learning. Children are allowed to explore at their own pace, with hands-on materials. Teachers act as guides in following the progress of the child. Montessori fosters independence, creativity, and critical thinking.
Montessori classrooms have mixed-age groups, allowing older children to mentor younger ones, fostering collaboration, empathy, and communication among peers. The age groups are toddler, children’s house (ages 3-6), lower elementary (ages 6-9), upper elementary (ages 9-12), and middle school.
Drop off is between 8:30 and 8:45 in the morning.
Montessori classrooms are designed to accommodate various learning styles. Each child is given individual attention based on their developmental needs. Teachers observe and follow the child so lessons can be adapted to meet the child’s needs.
At Country Garden Montessori School, we foster an environment that promotes children’s independence, self-sufficiency, and passion for learning. Our enriched educational setting caters to the unique needs of each child. Inspired by Maria Montessori’s philosophy, we support the comprehensive development of every child—addressing social, intellectual, emotional, and physical growth, while nurturing the individual spirit. We invite you to visit us and discover the exceptional learning experiences we provide for your children.
At Country Garden Montessori School, we encourage children to develop independence, self reliance, and a love of learning.
