Preschool—Kindergarten
This Montessori-based program includes the atrium, a place of prayer, meditation, and contemplation. It is a place in which the only teacher is Christ and both the children and adults place themselves in a listening stance before his Word. The themes presented in the atrium are those to which the children have responded with depth and joy. These themes are taken from the Bible and the liturgy (prayer and sacraments) as the fundamental sources for creating and sustaining Christian life at every developmental stage and, in particular, for illuminating and nourishing the child in his/her most vital religious needs.”
Please be sure your child is at least 3 years old by August 1st and potty-trained before entering this program. It is offered at Disciple House in the Atrium on the Country Church campus.
