Vineyard Montessori is a Montessori early childhood school located on Gerber Road that offers care and Montessori-based education from the infant level through kindergarten.
Vineyard Montessori operates a single early childhood campus that provides Montessori education for children from infancy through the kindergarten year. The school presents a continuum of Montessori classrooms designed to support children’s developing independence and academic readiness.
The program follows Montessori principles, emphasizing prepared environments and hands-on materials that support sensory, motor, language, social and practical-life development. Classrooms are mixed-age at the upper levels and use individualized work periods and "grace and courtesy" instruction to develop social skills and self-direction.
Classroom spaces are described as warm and inviting, with indoor and outdoor areas that include learning materials, books, plants, animals, art and music materials and a garden in the play area for hands-on outdoor learning.
Staff undergo background checks and are provided CPR/First Aid training. Infant care is delivered with low adult-to-child ratios and documentation of individual sleep and feeding routines.
The infant classroom provides a calm, prepared environment with floor beds and infant-sized materials; sleep and eating schedules are individualized and infants are observed and documented throughout the day.
Kindergarten continues the Montessori mixed-age classroom model where individualized work and leadership opportunities help consolidate earlier learning and prepare children for the next stage of education.
The Pre-K environment encourages exploration and independent work with indoor and outdoor materials; the program includes activities to develop concentration, motivation, self-direction and social skills.
The toddler program emphasizes freedom within a prepared environment to build self-confidence and independence while teachers give responsive, individualized attention to self-help, language, motor, sensory and social-emotional skills.
The Transition program focuses on preparing children for participation in Pre-K by increasing independence, length of focused work periods, and social and academic skills within a group setting.
