2019 Info for the Model School

Hi everyone,

Would love some updated info on the Model School. Many of the posts are a few years old.

Would love information particularly on the infant/toddler programs and the teachers.

Thank you!

Happy Sunday! I can't speak specifically to the infant/ toddler program, just the school overall. My kiddo started with their preschool, but a lot of kids graduate from infant to toddler to preschool - I'd say probably the majority start at a younger age. We think it's a great school. The teachers are very loving, respectful and engaged. Probably a more diverse teacher body than other schools in the area, at least compared to the ones I toured one year ago. Toddlers and preschoolers have dance and music classes once a week, Mr Michael comes for story time too! They have a large playground, fenced off areas for the toddlers, and raised garden beds that the older kids take care of. TMS is Montessori based, there'll be short lessons on a variety of subjects. My kiddo's class just did two months on the solar system - it was amazing how much they picked up and what they can explain about all planets and the solar system in general. One the best things about TMS is their very active parent group that is very engaged within the school and organizes picnics, fundraisers, work days to spruce the school up, parents night out and more fun things. As far as I know there are open spaces for toddlers, but the infant program is full, and the waitlist is pretty long -- there will be an open house next month if you want to talk to teachers and parents! Happy to talk offline too if you have questions!
