Maria's House provides a five-day Montessori Primary program (full-day and part time), welcoming children 3-6 years of age to explore their world in a safe, engaging and thoroughly Montessori way, celebrating the unique developmental path that each of us travels. Any child who is comfortably toilet trained and has outgrown the need for an afternoon nap (do any of us really outgrow that?) will be well-suited to the rhythm of daily life at our Doylestown casa. Most days unfold like this:
Morning
7:50 am Dropoff begins at our circle with staff assistance
8:20 am Gathering, flag raising and morning exercise
8:40 am Morning rally at cubbies
8:45 am Morning work period begins
