| First day at Prayag Montessori |

During the first days of your child's schooling at Prayag Montessori, we permit or encourage either of the parents to stay with the child (probably 3 to 4 days.) It would be best if your child could be with us without parents, but we know that sometimes this is difficult, especially with young ones. As the child feels very insecure to stay with us whom they haven't seen or met before, so just to get acquainted with the child and to develop a feeling of security in them, we allow the parents to stay with their child till they are comfortably settled. We start the school a few days earlier for the newly enrolled but when our senior children come back the new parents are not allowed into the environment. |

Children are welcomed at the gate by our Directress and also by the adults of their environment. Activity Centre starts at 09.30, but children start coming as early as 09.00, adults arrive by that time and prepare the environments for their respective children. The children enter the environment by greeting the adults with a 'Namaste' and removing their footwear before entering the environment. |

Children are received at 09.15 am, with the traditional Indian Namaste'
Once the child walk's into his/ her environment he/she is greeted by his/her adult and then goes about taking his/her mat, unrolling it and choosing the material he/she wants to work with be exercise of practical life, sensorial , language or arithmetic.
The adults are there to help and guide the children only when necessary. Work starts from the minute the child walks into the environment and he/she knows that if she feels hungry at any point of time he/she has all the freedom to take his/her snack bag and have his/her yummies at the sack corner.
Once they finish they can either go back to working with the material or join in the group presentations be it language, geogphy or biology.
Around 11.30 the children generally break for rhymes, story telling or are invited into the audio-visual room or work with anything they want weather it is going back to materials or clay or coloring or completing any writing work - language or number work.
Pick up time is 12.30 for the first year and second year where as the senior children stay back for an additional half an hour to an hour to work some more or catch up with their writing work.
