Montessori education gives children the responsibility to work through their own tasks, giving them ownership over their work. This builds self-confidence and independence, which will affect every aspect in their adult lives.

All academic programs offered by the school are based on a fundamental tenet of Montessori educational philosophy and the importance of the three-hour, uninterrupted work cycle. Our program is structured to support this premise, and is further aided by the presence of qualified, dedicated staff members and carefully selected classroom materials.

Your child will develop skills for practical life by participating in exercises in daily living. Children also participate in hands-on activities that teach math, reading, foreign language, history, geography, art and music.

Your child will learn:

  • Concentration
  • Coordination
  • Self-discipline
  • Independence
  • Obedience
  • Love of learning
  • Social responsibility
  • Respect for others
  • Respect for the environment

NCM provides programs ranging from three mornings to five full days per week for children ages 3 to 5. Our three, four or five day morning program
Begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 11:30 a.m.

We also offer an Extended Day program from 11:30 to 3:00, three, four or five days per week.

The Extended Day program is offered to those children who are ready for a further challenge and experience with the materials they work with in the morning, and those projects which are enriching and more suitable for a smaller group of children. The child in the Extended Day class is mature enough to handle the material presented and the longer school day. Lunch is included in the Extended Day program. Children bring their own lunch from home.

Children also have the option of staying for lunch until 1:00 p.m. NCM is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. We offer Early Drop-off services from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. and After Care from 3:00 to 5:30 p.m.

NCM offers Camp Montessori for eight weeks during the summer months from the second week in June through the first week in August. Parents have the option of choosing one or more two-week sessions. There is a morning class from 9:00 until noon, and an Extended Day class until 3:00. Parents also have the option of signing their child up for three or four days per week.

Children may also stay for lunch until 1:00.
Children bring their lunch from home.

Along with the Montessori core curriculum there are opportunities for the children to spend time outdoors engaging in various practical life and arts and crafts activities, science experiments, gardening, cooking, sand and water fun, hiking around the school property, campfires and studying our local flora and fauna.

Camp Montessori is open to all interested Northwoods families and summer visitors.
