New Montessori & Me Playgroups: A Unique Opportunity for Early Childhood Education

Greene Towne has introduced Montessori & Me Playgroup classes for young children in Center City, led by Montessori certified teacher Olivia Powers. These classes are designed for infants and toddlers accompanied by their grown-ups (parents or caregivers/authorized adults).

Class Structure and Schedule: Tailored for Different Age Groups

Each age cohort meets one day a week from 9:15 to 11:45 am in 6 – 8 week sessions and is limited to ten children and their grown-ups. The Tuesday playgroup is for nine to 15-month-olds who are crawling, scooting, or cruising; the Wednesday playgroup is for 12 to 24-month-olds who are walking independently; and the Thursday playgroup is for 18 to 30-month-olds. There is also a Parent/Infant class on Wednesday afternoons.

What to Expect in a Montessori & Me Class

During classes, older infants and toddlers spend the morning exploring the Montessori environment while their grown-ups learn how to support their child’s natural drive to learn and grow. The morning starts with a group circle time, bringing everyone together with a welcome song, stories, and rhymes. During open “work” time, children engage in several developmentally appropriate and child-centered Montessori activities. The morning wraps up with another group time and a goodbye song. 

How to Join Montessori & Me Classes
