Rosarian Academy Early Childhood Director, Megan Cloar, announced the expansion of the school’s growing and popular Montessori pre-school program. Due to an extensive waiting list and high demand for the Children’s House program, the administration has decided to open a third Children’s House classroom for ages 3-5 years old.
Utilizing existing classroom space in the school, the new Early Childhood classroom will replicate the amazing learning environment of the school’s existing two Children’s House classrooms.
Since joining Rosarian in the summer of 2011 as the Director of Early Childhood, Megan has helped the program over triple in size. “When I came, there were 23 students enrolled in the program. Today we have close to 70 students with the plans of an additional 18 by the start of next school year. Word in the local community is getting out. We are true to the Montessori philosophy of educating the whole child, and we have the best staff and nicest facilities around,” said Megan Cloar.
Rosarian’s Early Childhood now comprises the Junior Toddler House (up to 24 months), Toddler House (ages 2 to 3 years) and Children House (ages 3 to 5 years). The program strictly follows the Montessori curriculum. The classrooms provide a caring, individualized, and structured learning environment. The school’s highly trained Montessori-certified teachers lead their students through challenging lessons that develop concentration, independence, and sense of self. Emphasis is placed on developing a love of learning through hands-on Montessori lessons, investigation, and discovery.
The Children’s House curriculum is enriched with co-curricular classes in physical education, art, music, library, Spanish and gardening. Extra-curricular offerings include Strings Chamber Orchestra and intramural soccer programs.
Founded in 1925, Rosarian Academy educates students up to eighth grade and offers an exceptionally strong academic program (k-8 follows the nationally ranked Core Knowledge Curriculum) enriched by athletics, visual and performing arts, and community service opportunities. The private, coeducational school is located on Flagler Drive in downtown West Palm Beach and is sponsored by the Adrian Dominican Sisters. For more information, visit www.rosarian.org.
