HEALTHY SNACK PROGRAM

This school year sees the re-introduction of the healthy snack program.

Children in Casa and Elementary classes are given the responsibility of caring for their environment. With the aid of the practical life activities the children learn how to care for themselves as independently as possible and also their classroom environment.

The goals of the snack program are:

· To develop good nutritional habits and physical wellness.
· To develop independence and self –confidence.
· To develop and apply practical life skills.
· To develop good table manners and grace and courtesy.
· Reduce waste thus helping our environment.

The Montessori philosophy does not limit itself to academic concerns only. Dr. Montessori is often quoted for her belief that education is for life. At Century House Montessori School, BVI we are concerned about the child’s life including the physical, emotional and social aspects of development. We are committed to providing the best possible environment for the children so that they may grow into full and complete adults.

We hope that by offering the children the chance to share the snacks which they and their class mates have provided they will become independent and confident in the preparation of food, expand their food choices and experience different types of cuisine in a pleasant environment with their peers and teachers and even take some of the skills they have learnt home with them so that they can help in the preparation of food in their own home.

We thank the Parents for their participation in this program.
