Aftercare: Montessori Programme
Aftercare at Newberry is an extension of the Montessori classroom, closing at 16h00 for Toddlers and 17h00 for Pre-Primary and Elementary children. Holiday Club is offered through the school holidays, except for 3 weeks in the December holiday – times may vary based on demand.
This programme provides children with an after-school care facility based upon sound Montessori principles, such as movement and cognition, order in environment and mind, respect for the child and more – in essence, a child-centered approach in an environment for children that enables them to be independent, active, and learn, but with an emphasis on free play. To facilitate this a qualified Montessori Guide is involved in this environment throughout the afternoon.
All children in our Toddler, Pre-Primary and Elementary planes are welcome to participate in Aftercare and/or Holiday Club if on offer. Healthy snacks will be provided through the afternoon (peanut butter sandwiches, seasonal fruit, etc.)
