Before and After School and Camp

Before & After School

At Namaste, we understand that many parents and caregivers have busy schedules and need consistent care for their children. We also understand that children benefit greatly from consistency in care! We offer supplemental care for families before and after school and camp programs for select weeks when our Elementary program is on break. See our calendar for more information about school breaks.

Before School

Children who arrive early begin their day working with the adults to prepare their classroom environment by folding laundry, preparing snack, putting down tables, and refilling supplies. This is a warm and inviting time of close connection between children and adults. The usual options within the classroom are available as well if a child prefers to get started on a favorite activity.

After School

The after school program offers cooperative or individual play-based activities that allow the children further social engagement and opportunities to engage with their peers, or time for relaxation and quiet if that is preferred. The after school staff will lead games and songs, crafts and activities based on the needs and desires of the group of children. After school is offered daily when the minimum enrollment is met.

Camps

Namaste Montessori is open most of the year, but if we have a break, we often offer camps for those who need the childcare.
