Why is the Primary program 5 days a week?
The Montessori education system was designed around the premise that children are provided ample time to practice lessons, observe, work with their peers and directresses. Children learn to master a lesson through observation and practice. The child in a Montessori program builds on their foundation of experience and confidence to move on to other challenges in the classroom. Everyday, the Montessori directress has scheduled lessons with each child one-on-one as well as in small groups. Country Montessori is a serious education institution and not a daycare facility. Parents who become knowledgeable of and embrace the principles of Montessori support their children by ensuring they arrive at school everyday on a punctual basis.
