PROGRAMS

The Merrimack Valley Montessori School provides three different programs to try to fit the requirements of all its students. The programs are designed to meet the social and intellectual developmental needs of children during the time that they are with us.

All programs run during a morning session 8:45a.m. - 11:30 a.m. and an afternoon session 12:15p.m. - 3:00p.m.

Programs Available:

Five Day Program - A Montessori program of five half days, morning or afternoon, Monday through Friday. The program is offered to all children ages two years nine months to six years.

Three Day Program - A Montessori program similar to the five day program except attendance is only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. This program is designed exclusively for three year olds. Four year old children or children returning for their second year are not eligible for the three day program.

Extended Day Program - The extended day option is available to kindergarten children. Children attend their regular half day Montessori class on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and attend all day on Mondays and Fridays. During the full day sessions the children spend half of the day with their regular class and the other half day with just the kindergarten children engaged in more advanced projects and activities. This program is not mandatory for kindergarten and can be added at any time throughout the year.
