Step into the world of Pathfinders and you’ll find an inviting space where children are encouraged to explore independently, driven by their natural curiosity.

The day opens with the gathering cycle to set the tone for the day. During the cycle our guides foster community through greetings, a short meditation, songs, and discussions about the day's activities, while also introducing new materials, teaching social skills, and preparing children for focused, independent learning.

The rest of the morning is dedicated to a work cycle, where learners engage with various Montessori activities that build their first foundations of math, language, writing and civilization. Throughout the space, children tackle a variety of tasks, with a range of options inspired by Maria Montessori's principle of offering 'freedom within boundaries.'

The children eat lunch all together which they prepare themselves as a community. Healthy snacks are available throughout the day.

In the afternoon, they immerse themselves in the outside playground, which centers on outdoor play with open-ended materials to nurture creativity and improvement on gross-motor skills. Some may be constructing large climbable structures, while others might be discovering new insects, or playing games with each other!

If weather is really bad, the outside time may be shorter and children will spend time playing together inside but we usually say there’s no bad weather, only bad clothing.
