Our PM Program is very much like our Five Morning Program and is offered simply as an alternative for children for whom afternoons work better. It, too, contains all that is needed to continue the "journey of learning" of our preschoolers and to continue fostering their love of learning.

The program is, of course, enriched by Montessori materials - Practical Life materials to develop fine motor skills, Language activities to help develop letter/sound recognition and emergent reading, Math materials to continue establishing counting, one-to-one correspondence and beginning addition/subtraction. The program also contains an abundance of Manipulatives, Art activities (painting, drawing, special projects), science projects, lots of books and enough space for lots of freedom.

The PM day consists of at least three Circle Times (for music, demonstrations, Show & Tell, cooking, etc.), one or two Work Times (a free choice period where children choose their own work), an Outdoor Time (on our rooftop playground), a Book Time (where children can look at books and hear one read to them - perhaps by a parent) and a nutritious snack.
