The All Year Montessori program brings together an outstanding Montessori academic program and the convenience of all day care in an environment that cultivates optimum academic and social development as well as caring emotional support.
We offer to families who live or work in the Libertyville area much more than just a daycare setting. All Year Montessori offers a fully accredited, authentic Montessori education with all the academic advantages that Montessori is known for and additional activities like baking, gardening, outdoor organized games and more.
Our teacher turnover rate is significantly lower than that of traditional daycare, so your family can count on teachers who will invest in your child and get to know you and your family. Our teaching staff understands the importance of stable, trusting relationships in the lives of young children, and accepts that their job is to be with and interact with the children in meaningful ways, not just to provide daily care. The mixed age group enhances the family-like setting and encourages compassion and generosity as well as the proper setting for socialization.
After the morning class, the children move outdoors to play and enjoy physical activity. On the days the weather does not allow outdoor time, they play in our indoor play area. After play, children eat lunch together in their classroom. They learn to prepare their table using plates, cloth napkins and utensils. Each child serves himself from the school’s hot-lunch service, or from food sent from home. Children share quiet conversation as they eat, and work together to clean the tables and dishes when the meal is complete.
Following lunch, the younger children will rest with a nap and the older children will work in the Extended Day classroom. Once nap time or Extended Day is over, at 3 p.m., all the children will continue with our amazing afternoon program filled with additional activities for enrichment and fun.
