“The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences.”

                                  Maria Montessori

Studies show that children enrolled in enriched environments with a consistent, 5 day schedule, adapt sooner and more smoothly than children who attend a program for 2 or 3 days a week. Children learn quickly that week days are school days and do not experience the inner turmoil when their schedule frequently alternates between a school day and a “home day”. Children exhibit less transition issues such as separation anxiety, crying, toileting accidents and frustration-inducing behaviors, like biting. Parents are often amazed at how quickly their child has acclimated to the Montessori classroom.

Consistency of care in early childhood education is paramount.
