Before School
7:00am – 8:30am
Before the school day starts, children in our Before School Program can play games, read, and hang out with their friends in a nuturing, supportive environment. All Before School children are offered an optional free breakfast in the gym starting at 7:45 am.
Afterschool
3:30 pm – 6:00 pm
All children participating in our After School Programs will start their time off with an after school snack to be followed by outdoor time, art activities, group games, and more! Our after-school programs are modeled to complement the Montessori classroom experience. Children choose materials or “work” off shelves in a similar way they do in their classrooms. Likewise, elementary groups are in mixed-age setting, which mirrors their experience during the school day.

Toddler Program
14 mos to 3 yrs
The Highland Toddler Community offers young children a learning experience away from home, fostering self-confidence, a good self-image, and a positive attitude toward learning. Toddlers build independence and self-esteem through activities like self-care, meal preparation, language exploration, motor skills, art, and music in a warm, inviting environment.
