Northside Montessori Preschool and OOSH

Montessori Home Environment offers after school care for the younger children every day from 11:45am to 2:45pm following the morning Montessori work cycle. This option for parents and carers provides their child with a nurturing Montessori classroom environment which continues to build self-confidence and positive social behaviour. It also helps the children develop friendships outside of their normal classroom group as they may merge with children from other classes. Many of the 3 year olds are not ready to remain at school for the longer day and they are sometimes too tired to participate in the activities. Afternoon sleep is not part of the program. MHE provides craft, cooking, art, reading, creative arts and sometimes some outdoor play depending on the weather and the needs of the children. Children bring their lunch if they are attending MHE.
