"Education is not something which the teacher does,
but is a natural process which develops spontaneously
in the human being.

Half Day Primary Program
This program is geared toward toddlers who are rising to the primary level. 

Full Day Primary Program
Primary students in the half day program may be invited by the teacher to extend their hours to 3 p.m. based on their previous Montessori experience, and when they have demonstrated academic and emotional readiness (usually around age 5).

All Day Primary Program
To accomodate dual-career families who need extended hours, VMS offers an All Day Montessori classroom.  This all day classroom is an extension of the Montessori program accompanied by enrichment experiences in art, music, foreign language, movement and outdoor activities.

Students in the All Day Primary Program may use the extended hours programs below, if needed:
