CHRYSALIS MONTESSORI

A carefully prepared environment for babies up to 18 months old and a gentle introduction to Montessori philosophy(for parents who are interested in finding out more).
We provide a playful setting with quality natural materials for toddlers and young children, where they are free to roam, play and socialize with others. The sessions are loosely structured as follows
1.Free play: we want children to be able to choose their activities freely for as long as possible during the sessions. Your presence is important, however this is also an opportunity to step back and observe what your child is naturally inclined to choose.
-snack time: we provide a healthy snack (selection of fruits, rice, oat or corn cakes)-older children are welcome to help with the preparation. We think of this as an educational experience, where children can use open cups and ceramic plates. Spills are normal, we treat “mistakes” as learning opportunities.
*story/song time: this is a short moment in the session, ( for children who choose to be a part of it) where everyone comes together and it’s a great way to say goodbye to one another.

Things to remember
-follow your child’s interest, try not to interrupt them when they are engaged in their play, unless your child is hurting themselves, others or the environment.
- dress your child in clothes that are comfortable and not too precious
-model peaceful behaviour( no raising voices, labelling children etc...)
-bring slippers for your child( and yourself-if you wish to)
-if you have any questions related to early years and Montessori, we are happy to answer them.
We look forward to welcoming you!
