In the fall of 2005, MMS opened a Pre-Primary class for children who are two years old by September with a Montessori trained Toddler Teacher and experienced assistant teacher. Young children from the age of two to three are offered a half day Montessori program for 5, 3, or 2 days a week. This program became very popular and introduces parents to the strengths of our Montessori curriculum and philosophy of learning for our youngest of students. MMS parents marvel as they see the “will of two year olds” responded to with consistent and loving guidance for physical, social, emotional and academic learning opportunities in a well prepared classroom filled with exciting new hands on materials that say “yes you can” to their students, as they learn the balance of freedom within limits.

In 2008, once again MMS responded to a call from interested parents to open an elementary classroom. The Little House was converted to the Elementary Building and an outdoor classroom deck was added at the entrance. Complimentary Elementary Montessori materials and furnishing were purchased for this age group and the classroom opened with a Montessori Elementary trained teacher. This Elementary class has grown serving another grade level each year. Currently the ages served are first through third grade with the prospect of continuing our growth through the sixth grade.

The lower area of the Elementary is being prepped to serve this growth when needed.

MMS offers a strong academic elementary Montessori curriculum with all the excitement and advantages that a new program offers it students and parent community. The Elementary program offers continuing and new students to MMS many exemplary opportunities to strengthen their primary skills and advance their interests in learning about the world around them. Through many field outings, regular research projects, hands–on learning experiences demonstrating the integrations of ‘how things work’, and through self directed learning opportunities and leadership opportunities, these Montessori students are thriving and are being introduced to concepts well beyond the state standards for their age group.

MMS has expanded its time offering to assist working parents. We offer before school and after school care and are open from 8:00am to 5:30pm.

MMS has also expanded its summer time program over the past years and now offers a nine week outdoor summer program. Students may do a half day or full day program from 8:30am to 3:30pm.
