Extended Day (Kindergarten)
Location: Heritage House
Extended Day (full-day Kindergarten) is Available at our Heritage House location.
Many five-year-olds are ready for what is termed the “Extended Day” program. Here they delve further into various areas of the curriculum and gain practice with the many new skills they are learning. This group is becoming very social and cooperative learning is common. Their year is crowned by a graduation event with appropriate pomp and ceremony. Children enter the Extended Day program only on the recommendation of their teachers and after having spent some time in a Primary (preschool) classroom.
A limited number of spaces are available each year. Please contact us to find out more!

Admissions
Short of being able to physically visit our learning centers, we would like to invite you on a virtual tour of our space and see how our certified Montessori instructors interact with our students. You’ll notice how well the children interact and self-direct their activities, sharing with others and learning at their own pace. Together we can discover what would be the best fit for your child(ren).
Call our office to find out more information and book a virtual tour.

Parent Testimonials
“After a great deal of research into preschools and early education opportunities for young children in Surrey, we reached Roots and Wings and were surprised and impressed to find a school that did not just teach children but put a great deal of effort into teaching children as young as our three year old to understand the value of sustainability, stewardship, community service, etc. This is not just another school but a model school.”
“Roots and Wings has been a wonderful haven for learning and personal development for our son for four years now. There is so much to be said for honoring the individual learning needs of our youth! Bravo Roots and Wings Montessori School!”
“This school will be the first of many to pop up across our nation because it meets the real needs of the children. It provides for a world-class learning environment in a caring atmosphere of good stewardship, community relations, and advanced academic skills.”
