Barat Montessori - Serving children ages 2.9 through 6 since 1974
A Day at Barat
     

Because we are a Montessori school, most learning is done on an individual basis. Each child works through the curriculum independently, at his or her own pace. Large and small group lessons are also built into each day. The following is an approximate overview of our daily schedules:

  5-Day Program  
8:45 Arrival and Choice Time.
  9:15 Circle Meeting.  
  9:45 Work Time (Independent Work)  
 

        Work focuses primarily on the 4 areas of the
        Montessori curriculum:
        (1) Practical Life
        (2) Sensorial
        (3) Language
        (4) Math

  3-Day Program  
  9:00 Choice Time & Small Group Lessons  
  9:30 First Circle & Independent Work  
 

   Work focuses primarily on the 4 areas of the Montessori curriculum:

Enrichment Classes

 
 

Children in both programs have weekly instruction provided by specialists in the following areas:

  (1) Yoga
  (2) Music & Movement

 
 

With the exception of Computertots, all enrichment classes are considered part of the standard curriculum and do not require an additional fee. Comptertots is an optional program provided by an outside educational service in which groups of 2-4 children work with a technology specialist for 30 minutes each week during regular class hours. There is an additional fee for this program.

 
 

If it can be arranged that the Computertots instructor will be able to come on a day when the 3-day class is in session, it will be offered to the 3-day children as well.
