Extended Day

Shrewsbury Montessori School supports families by extending the regular school hours in the morning and afternoon, Mondays through Fridays. The Extended Day Program is offered on both campuses to currently enrolled students, Toddler to Grade 6 students. The program is designed to create a fun environment where children can relax and enjoy time with friends. Children are offered a variety of activities each day with outdoor and indoor play in a safe environment. The indoor space is designed with materials and activities that complement the Montessori philosophy to meet the interests of a multi-age group. View Before and After School Programs fees.
