Infants

Our preschool is based on English Language. We teach proper grammar and pronunciation appropriate for their age.

Interactive play is something we truly value. The best way to achieve this is by copying what we see. Therefore, our nursery teachers and educators model play and cooperate whenever they can, so the kids get a sense of what it looks like. Taking turns, acting gently, speaking in a kind manner: all of these are examples of positive reinforcement. Soon enough, the play will start to diffuse social tension as a result.

We begin with short separation times, as children need to have faith that their caregiver will return. This builds trust and mutual understanding. Once these brief periods become the norm, we extend the length of separation. A comforter from home often helps, something like a blanket, toy or teddy bear. It’s normal for a child to cry during their initial state at kindergarten of semi-independence. Please remember that it’s a natural, healthy response to the love you’ve given them so far… For transitions and promotions, too, we create a plan that’s tailored to their personality traits.

You may drop your child off at 7:30 am.

We recommend that parents walk their Preschoolers to the playground for at least the first few days of school.

Toddlers

If a child has fever, then they have to stay home for 48 hours without medication.

If a child falls sick during the day, parents will be contacted to come pick up the child, and we have the child sit in an isolation area until parents arrive.

Preschool

We use fun, research-based, multi-sensory strategies to help children develop early learning skills, including Lively Letters, Open Court for phonics and literacy, Handwriting Without Tears, and Everyday Math. We use Responsive Classroom as the basis for our social and emotional learning curriculum throughout the school.
It is strongly encouraged that all children starting in Preschool, except for those entering the Toddler program, be potty-trained. However, it is not required.

At Fairfield Montessori, only full time children will have a rest period after lunch. 

Parents can access information instantly about their child(ren)’s classroom activities, schedule, and plans through Procare app, which also provides access to family contact information and is where parents can update emergency contacts or the list of individuals allowed to pick up their child(ren). In addition to class specific information, all school events, notices, weekly newsletters from classroom teachers, monthly newsletters from specials teachers and photos live on the secure app.Iassignments and test dates on the Parent Portal. In addition, we host numerous informational events for families throughout the year and send out Schoolroom Notes, our bi-annual all school newsletter, and our annual report.
