Welcome to Moozie's Play Group Program

― Dr. Maria Montessori

Big Kid Play Group
This is a drop off class for children 2.5-5 years of age.
This program utilizes Montessori Methods that encourage children to learn through play in a
mixed aged group of children 2 1/2 to 5 years of age.
Moozie's Play Group is the first step in a goal that we hope will ultimately evolve into so much more and include more age groups.
In our program your child will learn grace & courtesy as well as self help and self-care skills in a small intimate environment.
This is an integral part of our daily curriculum which encourages children to develop self-confidence and awareness.
Rich and orderly environments (also known as a "prepared environment") tailored to this age group will teach
respect for all people and things which results in better self control and enhanced social skills.
Children will learn in a mixed aged classroom that provides them with the freedom to seek out their
own interests and encourages them to learn at their own pace with very little prompting. In this type of
learning environment children can develop important social skills and discover what interests them.
Virtual Big Kid Play Group
Virtual per 4 week session $100
materials fee $25
We hope you will be too!
