 PRIMARY/ELEMENTARY CURRICULUMThe Primary Class
Our primary classes are for children ages 2 ½ through 5.
Classrooms are equipped with child-sized furniture and shelving
designed to fit the needs of all the children. Rooms also contain a full range of Montessori materials along with special additional materials to enhance children’s learning experiences and to assure kindergarten readiness. Lead teachers have Montessori teaching certification from North American Montessori Center, and all teachers and assistants are trained in Montessori methods. All classrooms meet the standard teacher- student ratio so as to ensure that each child’s specific educational, social, and emotional needs are addressed. A child is eligible to enter a primary class upon potty-training or at 2 ½ years of age. This program runs from August to May, but summer care is also available. We offer full-time as well as some limited part-time options which are as follows: 3 full days, 5 half days, or 3 half days. Hours of operation for this program are 6:45 am-6:00pm. Elementary
We currently offer grades K-8. Teachers are state certified and
hold at least a Bachelor’s degree in Education. We take monthly educational field trips that parents are welcomed to attend. We also travel to the public library every other week to participate in programs and check out books of interest. Our classrooms are multi-grades, and each have certified teachers and assistants. Each grade is limited to 10 students at this time. This program follows the Webster Parish School Calendar. Meals and snacks are included in monthly tuition.
