Early Learners (18months – 3yrs) – Pandaville

Mrs. Karla and Mrs. Susan realize that for most children, Pandaville is their first formal experience in an education process that will last many years.  It is MMS’s intent and philosophy that their class be a positive and nurturing learning environment in which children truly enjoy coming to school. Pandaville teachers design curriculum and lesson plans which address all areas of learning.

Primary (3yrs – K) – Bearville, Poohville, and teddyville

A multi-aged grouping of children can be found in the Primary rooms, Bearville, Poohville, and Teddyville.   These classrooms offer a wide variety of materials that allow the child to grow as his abilities and interests lead him to more complex work.  Mrs. Michele, Mrs. Phyllis, Mrs. Michelle, Mrs. Lisa, and Mrs.Joanne observe the individual needs of each child as they explore their prepared environment.  A busy hum of activity can be observed as the children in the classroom manipulate materials, become independent, and develop at their own pace.

Enrichments

Montessori subjects and materials extend beyond the four main areas of practical life, sensorial, language and math.  

Field Trips:

Once a month, various assemblies visit the school, featuring performances such as puppet shows, storytellers, live animal presentations, and sing-alongs.

Music:

At MMS, all students participate in a weekly Music class held on Thursday mornings. Each session integrates singing, movement, and hands-on instrument play—using tools such as egg shakers, rhythm sticks, and bells—to actively engage students in the fundamentals of rhythm and melody. These experiences support both creative expression and musical development, building a foundation for continued appreciation of music. 

Art:

Art is offered on Tuesday to the Kindergarten children.  Mrs. Michelle has joined the staff at MMS and turned our school hallways into a world of color.

Spanish

Kindergarten children meet with our Spanish teacher, Mrs. Karla, once a week and are exposed to another culture through games and songs.

After Care

MMS recognizes that parents’ schedules do not always coincide with school arrival and dismissal times. We therefore offer Before/After Care.  This service is available only on regularly scheduled school days in accordance with our published school calendar. Should your family require extended care on a regular basis, please call the office and arrange a schedule.  Families are served on a first-come, first-served basis for Before/After Care.

Summer Camp

Summer Camp is offered for three weeks at the end of the school year. Every week is a different theme and includes activities such as arts and crafts, water sprinklers, pool, bikes, riding toys, and plenty of outdoor fun!
