Here are some other important aspects of our program:
GIVING BACK
Children at Columbia Gorge Montessori give back to the community throughout the year. One of their favorite community service projects is washing potatoes and wrapping them in tin foil to be baked for the homeless. During the holidays, children can donate pajamas & books to SnowCap for our Annual Read & Dream Drive.
GARDENING
Each child watches the process from seed to bloom. Once the seedling develops enough, the child transfers the seed into a garden area. The responsibility of watering the seed and watching the plant grow gives the child a deeper understanding of the growth process and how they influence the cycle.
PROGRAM OPTIONS
Columbia Gorge Montessori offers 4 to 5 days a week; full days (8:30-3:30 p.m.), before care (7:15-8:30 a.m.) and after care (3:30-5:15 p.m.). Also, integrating healthy, nutritional food choices into snacks & meals is an essential part of assisting proper growth for our children.
