Montessori After School (MAS)
Ages 3-6, Monday-Thursday, 3:00pm-4:30pm
After Crescent’s full day program dismisses at 3:00pm, children are invited to stay until 4:30pm to continue their Montessori experience. Keeping with our thoughtful curriculum during our school day, children will be invited to explore Montessori Gym materials, engage in sports in the garden such as soccer or obstacle courses, art projects, taekwondo and music. Crescent Montessori believes in nurturing the full child and MAS seeks to provide our community with these curated Montessori-inspired experiences after school.

MAS Fall Quarter 2023
Montessori After School will keep children rooted in routine with staples in the daily after school schedule (e.g. snack), however, it will keep children moving and entertained with guest teachers, weekly themes or child-led opportunities to choose gross-motor movement activities.
The Winter Quarter will run from September 5, 2023-December 14, 2023, Mondays-Thursdays 3:00pm-4:30pm. Families will be asked to commit to the whole Winter Quarter, however they are able to select which days of the week they would like to join.
