Frequently Asked Questions

 

Is care year round?

Yes, we provide care year-round. However, we do take week-long breaks between each season to help the team maintain self care and continued education/trainings. We use week long breaks to deep clean the classrooms and school maintenance.

What ages do you serve?

We serve children from 20 months to 3 years old. Once enrolled, we continue to serve the child until they reach the age of 6.

Is there a fee for late pick up?

Yes, there is a late pick up fee of $1 for every minute after the ten-minute grace period. This charge will be reflected in the following month's tuition invoice.

How many children are in each class?

The toddler class holds a maximum of 5 children, and the primary class holds a maximum of 8 children.

Do you toilet train toddlers?

We offer toilet training for toddlers. We are experienced and skilled in this area. As your partner in raising your little one, we will let you know when we see signs of readiness. We understand that toilet training can be messy, but we are here to help.

Are you accredited?

We are not an accredited Montessori school. However, we have found that there is more than one way to help nurture the growth of a well-rounded child. At Nahar, we have found something magical in the midst of teaching with the Montessori method and being fully involved with positive discipline. We have adopted the Positive Discipline approaches as well as schemin’ and dreamin’ ways to reimagine conventional parenting practices.

Resisting the fear, conformity, and control inherent in mainstream Montessori practices frees us to create profound and positive change in ourselves, our families, and the little ones entrusted to our care

Do you serve lunch?

From Monday to Thursday, we ask families to pack their child’s lunch and on Fridays do we serve a tasty lunch. Friday’s lunch includes a serving of locally sourced organic fruits, vegetables, and homemade pizza made by the children.

Is snack provided?

Yes! We provide three all organic snacks. One in the morning, the second in the afternoon, and one in the early evening. It consist of a organic grain, locally sourced fruits, vegetables, grass fed proteins, and grass fed dairy products.

When children come to a Montessori school, they are delighted to be able to do all those kitchen tasks that are sometimes deemed "too dangerous" for them at home. The Montessori curriculum is unique among preschools because making snacks, serving food, eating, and cleaning up are all everyday learning activities.
