Structured Learning in a Fun Environment
At Montessori School House B & G Ltd, our services go beyond simple daycare. We believe in creating a structured learning environment while also encouraging our students to become independent by letting them make their own choices. The structured learning helps children get a real sense of routine with their program while the open exploration allows them to learn to think for themselves.
We feel it’s important to incorporate a curriculum early on into your child’s education. Monday through Friday our staff members lead comprehensive classes including phonics and number skills. Friday is play and craft day at the school – children have different creative options to choose from in an independent environment.
The Importance of Nutrition for Young Children
Montessori School House B & G Ltd requests parents to pack and send nutritious lunch and snack for their child. The school provides wholesome milk during the meal. Good food habits that are introduced early on leads to healthy living. We follow the Montessori food and nutrition guidelines.

Make Lunch an Interesting Meal
One of the best ways to get your child to have lunch at school is to involve him or her when packing or even cooking it.
Planning ahead can also make it easier for you. Let’s say you’re making dinner that can also make a good lunch option for your child. Make a little extra and refrigerate it to use within the next one or two days.
Sandwiches are one of the easiest foods you can pack for your child’s lunch. If you’re packing a sandwich, try cutting it into shapes that your child will be delighted to see. To keep food warm, use a thermos.
