ABOUT CENTURY HOUSE MONTESSORI SCHOOL
ADMISSIONS
Creche 18 months - 3 years
Little Penguins Montessori Crèche is a lovely four bedroom house in a quiet location just five minutes drive from CHMS, BVI campus. The house is bright and airy, set in an almost flat lawned, fenced in garden. Its high location offers spectacular views and breezes.
The Crèche provides separate napping areas with low sleeping cots. The bedrooms have low lighting with one cot for each child, a dining, working, playing and reading area. The huge porch provides space for the romper room for tricycles and push toys. There is a dedicated art room for arts and crafts.
The main room is home to low open shelves containing practical life activities along with puzzles, stacking toys, threading etc. All the materials are made of the highest quality and made of wood in preference to plastic. The children learn to look after themselves via practical life activities which is the core of the Montessori system.
Outside you will find a large covered area with a sand pit and gardening area along with a climbing frame, swings, low balance beam, stepping stones and wooden play house. The Crèche allows the children to learn to help prepare their own lunches and snacks. The children are cared for by three caring, patient, and loving staff who are all first aid certified.
Children’s House (Casa): 3-6 years
Our Century House Montessori School BVI Casa classes offer a three-year programme. A child normally enters at 3 years of age and remains for the full 3 years, after which the child may move into the Elementary Programme if they meet the criteria for the move. We move a child based on academic abilities and social skills and not just based on chronological age.
Elementary Programme: 6-12 years
Our Elementary Programme is a six-year programme. A child who has attended the Casa usually enters at age 6. An effort is made to allow for transfers into the programme from other Montessori Schools. Children without previous Montessori experience or exposure may be considered depending on individual circumstances. However, we cannot accept a child into our Elementary Programme who has obtained no or intermittent Montessori Education in the past.
Application should be made as early as possible. An interview and a series of observation in the classroom are required before acceptance is granted. Century House Montessori School BVI admits students of any race, colour, and national or ethnic origin.
Parents are a vital part of our programme and are encouraged to involve themselves in parent education; the various committees or other areas where volunteer assistance helps to keep the costs as low as possible.
