Maria Montessori believed that meal time is an extremely valuable learning opportunity for children.  From the time children can sit independently, Montessori children sit at a child-sized table and learn to feed themselves.  They learn grace of movement by setting the table with child-sized dishes and utensils.  They practice courtesy by using please and thank you, chewing with their mouths closed, serving others first and through conversation, and lots of praise for trying along the way.

​

All meals are provided at this service. Cooking experiences occur every day, children learn how to set the table, how to butter their own bread, how to peel and grate their own carrots and assemble their very own sandwiches! Once they have finished they was their own dishes and learn how to clean up after themselves.
