Work time is a cornerstone of our Montessori-inspired classrooms and the foundation of our day. Students collaborate in small groups, have lessons with teachers, and work independently on projects that are inspired by their interests. They are encouraged to explore the classroom materials, ask questions and notice sensory details like sounds, shapes and textures. It is a time for self-discovery where they begin to learn more about what intrigues them, hone new skills, and accomplish goals. During work time, children are given the opportunity to engage in language, sensorial, math, practical life, art, and science projects.
