One-Day Montessori: Thomaston Woods Montessori Program
Bronsil, Beth; Dahlmeier, Crystal
Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, v29 n3 p48-51 Fall 2017
The Thomaston Woods Early Childhood program opened in October 2014, operating one day a week, with a school year that stretched to the end of July. Children of families living in the Thomaston Woods community, ages 3-6, had first choice and attended free of charge. While a one-day-a-week Montessori program is not the typical model, the hope was that it would still have a positive effect on the children and families participating. This article discusses how, even with the limited exposure to the Montessori environment, children have developed concentration, independence, care of self and the environment, social skills, and a love for art and music.
