Scribbles All Day Program

Scribbles Montessori offers an all day program. From 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. the children select activities from art materials and games. If the weather is mild, there is time before 9:00 a.m. the children can be on the playground.

From 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. the all-day children participate in the Montessori work period and group time. At 12:00 p.m. they have lunch. From 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. the children have naps if they are young and require naps, or they participate in the Cultural Extended Day session.

From 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. the children have art and movement materials to use in addition to a scheduled outside time from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. From 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. the children participate in tea serving, an exercise in courtesies and manners.








Half Day Program

The children arrive at 8:30 a.m. and participate in outside play time. (Weather permitting) From 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. the children participate in the Montessori work period and group time.





Extended Day Program

The children have already attended the half-day program in the morning. For children who do not nap, the time from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. is very special. There is a lesson in penmanship, and a mathematics workbook is introduced, if the child is ready for it. The focus of the afternoon is botany (the study of plants), zoology (the study of animals), geography, and simple history. The excitement and interest that the children exhibit in discovering the world about them make the afternoon program a joy for the children and the teachers.





Practical Life (Curriculum)

Practical Life is considered the foundation of the Scribbles curriculum. The fundamental tools for learning (concentration, organization, coordination. and independence) are established as the child learns the simple tasks involved with the care of themselves such as buttoning and bow tying, and care of the environment in dishwashing and silver polishing, and courtesies such as "please" and "thank you."





Sensorial (Curriculum)

Sensorial refines the senses. This is the time in the child's life when information is received by the child through the senses; therefore, the need to develop and refine the senses is particularly important. The children match and grade colors, shapes, and sizes. Textures, sounds, and tastes are also matched and graded. Concentration, organization, coordination. and independence established in the Practical Life materials are further developed with the Sensorial materials.





Language Arts (Curriculum)

Language Arts is broadly organized into the categories of listening, speaking, writing and reading. At Scribbles Montessori, there is an emphasis on precise usage of language so that the child hears a clear model of the English language. The names of colors, shapes, and sizes are reinforced. The child is encouraged to speak in complete sentences. In the reading process, a phonics approach to reading is utilized, which assigns the sound to the letter. When the child knows a certain number of sounds, the letters are placed together to form words that the child can sound out, blending the sounds to read the word. With a movable alphabet, the child forms words and then reads the words.





Mathematics (Curriculum)

The children learn the numerals and the quantity that goes with the numerals. They begin with 1-10 and then quickly proceed to 100. Simple addition is introduced along with an introduction to the base ten system: units, tens, hundreds, and thousands.





Art and Music (Curriculum)

Art is an integral part of the program with art materials available to the child at all times during the day. The media available includes easel painting, watercolors, clay, and crayons.

Music occurs in groups and involves singing and listening to music.





Spanish (Curriculum)

Spanish is taught by a specialist who gives instructions three times a week. The lesson is reinforced in the classroom during the week.
