Albany Montessori School Timetable & Routines
Nursery School & Preschool St Albans

Making Decisions

In keeping with the Montessori Method we believe that all children should make their own decisions within the learning environment. This helps to build confidence, self-esteem, independence and pride in achievements. Albany Montessori children are encouraged to choose and change activities throughout the session. All of the activities are accessible to the children at all times.
​We organise our sessions so that the children may choose from and work at a range of activities and in doing so, build up their ability to select and work through a task to its completion.

Circle Time

​Each child is welcomed and asked for any news.  Within the circle we discuss a topic, for example the solar system, dinosaurs, orchestras.

Snack Time

In keeping with the Montessori Method, during the morning session the children are free to access the snack table at any time, which contains fresh fruit, vegetables and water. In the afternoon we all sit at a table for snack time. ​Please tell us about your child's dietary needs and we will ensure that these are met. ​

Choosing Time

Each child then goes into the environment and selects an activity to work, for example number rods, puzzles, painting, sand play.

Break Time

Children play outside where they can enjoy the climbing frame, ride on toys, kick a ball, play games, explore our garden or sit and read and book.​
