The organizations principal program includes two major components:1. Academic School YearPlaygroup operates its core Annual Academic Program Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This full-day educational experience is rooted in the Montessori curriculum, integrating math, language, arts, science, and cultural studies through developmentally appropriate instruction. Optional before-care and after-care services extend the day to accommodate family schedules. During the 2024 fiscal year, 66 students were served, 25 children graduated, and 13 new families were welcomed. Additionally, 2 new teachers were hired and 3 staff development opportunities were provided.2. Summer SessionIn addition to the academic year, Playgroup offers a themed Summer Session for current, graduating, and incoming students aged 2 years and older. Held weekly from mid-June to mid-August, families may select from either a half-day or full-day option. Sessions are curated to provide engaging, age-appropriate experiences with limited capacity. In 2024, the program expanded to include an additional week of summer instruction.Through these educational services, the organization continues to uphold its mission of delivering high-quality Montessori education while also expanding its reach and deepening its impact within the community. Fundraising efforts raised over $300,000 and supported both programming and the organizations endowment growth
