The official school day finishes at 12:45. Our aftercare programme runs from 13h00 until 17h30 daily and is an extension of the school day. Children are given the opportunity to have a nap or quiet time before engaging in the planned afternoon activity for the day.
The aftercare programme has been designed to ensure that each child receives adequate and appropriate stimulation while having fun and relaxing after a busy morning.
Our Montessori school is divided into two programmes based on age: The Toddler Programme is for children aged 18 months – 3 years old. This age is considered the most fundamental in the Montessori approach and is where foundations for future learning are built.
Our Montessori preschool Programme is for children from 3 – 6 years old. At this stage, children are encouraged to work independently and cooperatively with their peer group. Vertical grouping (mixed-aged groups) is a fundamental component of an authentic Montessori experience and program.
Active minds and bodies need well-balanced nutrition. It’s well-known that children cannot concentrate, and lack energy and motivation if they do not eat properly. LittleHill Montessori Nursery School offers a nutritious, dietician approved, planned meal option that provides your child with everything a young body and mind needs to succeed.
Every Wednesday is Baker’s Day. The child is given the opportunity to make a treat at school with the class teacher and sell it to their friends for R2,50. The child wears a baker’s hat and sells his/her eats.
