Our Routine

Wildflowers Montessori, our daily routine is thoughtfully designed to create a balanced, nurturing, and engaging day for the children. We have a free-flow to the outdoors which means children spend supervised time outside in the garden as often as they’d like (weather permitting), during free play time.

8:30AM - Welcome and Free Play: Each child is warmly welcomed into the nursery, with time for free play to ease into the day, promoting independence and social interaction.

9:00AM - Work Circle: Children come together for work circle, a Montessori-inspired session that encourages focus, collaboration, and choice as they engage in self-led activities.

9:30AM - Directed Activity: A teacher-guided activity provides structured exploration, introducing new concepts or projects aligned with the Montessori approach and eco practices.

10:00AM Group Time: Children gather as a group to share stories, songs, or discussions, fostering a sense of community and belonging.

10:30AM Healthy Snack: Nutritious, balanced snacks fuel energy for the day, encouraging children to make mindful, healthy choices.

11:00AM Garden Time: Outdoor exploration lets children connect with nature, enhancing physical development and environmental awareness through hands-on experiences

12:00PM Lunch Time: A nutritious, communal meal encourages self-care skills and social interaction.

12:45PM Nap Time/One-on-One Activities: Children have time to rest and recharge, while others can engage in one-on-one Montessori activities that support individual growth.

3:00PM Snack: Another healthy snack break keeps children energised as the afternoon unfolds.

3:45 Garden Time: A second outdoor session encourages physical activity and a deepened connection with the natural world.

5:00 PM Group Time: Children regroup for a final collaborative activity, reflecting on the day and strengthening friendships.

5:00 - 5:30PM Goodbye: The day concludes with a warm goodbye, setting a positive tone as children transition back to home.

This routine provides a consistent, balanced structure, creating a harmonious blend of play, learning, rest, and connection with nature.
