Montessori work cycle - this is a time of intense focus and concentration as children use materials in the classroom. We use this time to allow the children to explore independently and work on lessons with a teacher. Snack is available during the work cycle. |
10:30-11:30 |
Outside time - children play independently in our private backyard. They might spend time caring for our plants, climbing on our climbing wall, playing group games, or resting in the shade. |
11:30-12:30 |
Lunch - we will begin serving lunch in January 2021. For now, children eat lunches brought from home. |
12:30-1:00 |
Rest time - all children relax for at least half an hour. Children who fall asleep will be allowed to sleep as long as needed. |
1:00-2:30 |
Afternoon activities - a great time for spontaneous projects and group activities for children who do not nap. Snack is available during afternoon activities. |
288 McGuiness is a wonderful place for Greenpoint Montessori. Every morning, teachers greet the children in the backyard then head on in to the classroom where the open layout is specially prepared for the children to learn and grow independently. We have child-height windows that look out to our community (street) and windows that look onto our big backyard. We are a short walk to the Greenpoint Ave G line. Please be aware that Greenpoint Montessori is located in a residential building with no sign. |
