A Day at Sprout and Spark

Welcome

8:00 - 8:30

Children walk up to the school on their own feet, put away their things, hang up their coats and greet friends and teachers. Parents are welcome to remain through the end of this transition time to chat with teachers. At the end of the transition parents say goodbye to their little ones and we begin our work.

Three-Hour Work Cycle

8:00 - 11:00

On the Montessori side of the room, students are free to use any of the materials. When a student wishes to work with a new material that they have not used before, a teacher will offer an individual or small group lesson. This ensures that materials are used as intended and students get the most out of their practice. 


Our artist's studio is also open for the duration of the work cycle. Each day, a new "provocation" is provided, inviting the children to draw, paint, sculpt, or explore found materials. Throughout the year, students are given individual and group lessons in the various media we use. Once they know the medium, children are free to use it to create works of their own design.

Outdoor Play

11:00 - 12:00

Students are invited to explore the lush greenery around the school house as lunch is prepared. We play outside every day, rain or shine! On many days we spend extra time outdoors to go on forest hikes, tend the gardens, or simply enjoy nature!

Lunch

12:00 - 12:30

Students and their teachers enjoy a vegetarian group meal together. We prepare all of our food onsite using high quality, organic fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, and dairy. Our menu is culturally diverse and we encourage our students to take an "adventure bite" of new foods. We are respectful of alternative diets and food allergies but may not be able to accommodate some restrictions.

Quiet Rest/Quiet Work

12:30 - 2:30

The lights are turned down and students curl up with their favorite stories. We encourage all our students to rest quietly or nap before they rise to choose a quiet activity. 

Afternoon Snack

2:30-3:00

Students come together for a nutritious snack and say goodbye to school-day friends.

Afternoon Activity

3:00 - 4:30

The afternoon is reserved for group activities, muscial exploration, and outdoor adventure play.

Joyful. Creative. Resilient. Curious.
