Growing together beyond the work cycle
A Welcoming Community
Through playing together, sharing meals and snacks, and participating in arts and crafts and other group activities, children learn to communicate, cooperate, share, and develop meaningful relationships within the classroom community.
Free play and group activities help children build friendships and strengthen their connections with peers.
Arts and crafts, shared snacks, and imaginative play create joyful opportunities for collaboration and expression.
When a child misses the morning Montessori work cycle, additional learning time helps them stay on track with the curriculum.
When thoughtfully structured, the before and after care at Agile Innovators Montessori complements the Montessori work cycle while giving children additional opportunities for social, emotional, and practical growth.
