Montessori Expands Primary to include a Two's Program
In 2010, MSW will expand our program to include children from ages 2 through 3 years. It is with great excitement we introduce our Montessori Beginners Program. We are also pleased to announce the return of a Summer Camp at MSW. The “Montessori Beginners” program is an academic program especially designed as a “Primary Primer” for children ages 2 through 3 years. Like our current Primary program, the Beginners program is a 5 day a week program with both ½ day (8:30 AM-11:30 AM) and full day (8:30 AM—3:00 PM w/napping) options. Assistance with potty training will be available for children in this nurturing environment. Optional Before and After Care are also available for children enrolled at MSW from as early as 7 AM through 6 PM daily.
Our first Parent-Toddler session was a tremendous success this fall. The Saturday morning program has been designed to introduce the basic Montessori environment to children ages 18 months to 3 years with their parents’ encouragement. The atmosphere is both nurturing and socially engaging.
I take this opportunity to invite you to call the office to discuss the Parent-Toddler or Primary programs, to schedule an observation of the classroom or to discuss the enrollment process for your child. Although we offer a rolling enrollment throughout the year, Open Enrollment will begin in mid January, 2010. If you have not toured our beautiful campus, please schedule your visit today!

An Open House is scheduled for Saturday, Janaury 9th at 9:00 AM

Spring 2010 Session
PARENT-TODDLER PROGRAM
Program Description:
The Parent-Toddler Program is a unique learning experience for both parent and child to enjoy together. A Montessori Educator will prepare an environment specifically designed for the young child of 18 months to 3 years. The child will be encouraged to explore at will, freely choosing materials that foster self development in a tender atmosphere of special understanding. The comfort of this environment promotes a peaceful first introduction for the young child with opportunities to practice social interactions with peers and other adults.
The parent is present to nurture and support their child’s growing need for independence. Parents will learn the basic principles of the Montessori method and take home ideas and suggestions for creating a supportive home for children.
The Montessori Educator is a guide and a resource. She will model interactions, share new information and research, and facilitate discussions. Each session will focus on a specific topic.
Program Location:
The program will be held at the Montessori School of Westminster located off of Hughes Shop Road in Westminster.

Parent Primers on Wednesdays, 02/10-parents only @ 6:00 -- 7:45pm

Cost and Registration:
The cost for the 8 class session is $120.00. Space is limited to 10 families. We ask that only one parent per child attend the session. The program is designed to encourage independence. Too many adults in the room may hinder a child’s confidence to separate from their parent. Due to limited space, you can reserve a space by calling MSW (410.848.6283). Payment must be received within 5 business days of the phone reservation.
