Preschool
Our Children's House program provides authentic Montessori education, combining preschool and kindergarten in a nurturing environment. Children learn at their own pace through hands-on exploration and teacher-guided lessons, developing independence, concentration, and self-discipline. Our Montessori-trained teachers prepare thoughtful learning environments that honor each child's natural curiosity and cultural background. The program balances child-initiated activities with circle time for songs, discussions, and community building, fostering both academic growth and social connection.
Summer Program
At Sonnet we take advantage of sunshine filled days and warm weather to allow children to enjoy and explore the outdoors by visiting the playground and the neighboring park, taking hikes, exploring the woods and even bringing our Montessori work outdoors! We also create a fun-filled summer by exploring themes carefully selected to be both fun, educational and encourage creative thinking. Themes are introduced throughout the day in both group presentations and individual exploration opportunities. Each two or three week session features hands on activities or experiments, projects, artwork, and field trips or in house workshops. Every Friday, weather permitting, is “water day” at Sonnet Montessori! Bring an extra change of clothes for your child as they will enjoy a variety of outdoor activities using water.
