MWF and T/TH, PM 12:30-3:00

We offer a multi-age program, unique to MCP, which allows you to choose your combination of days or to add on days to other programs in which children will be immersed with older or younger classmates. Educational research indicates that students benefit both academically and emotionally from being placed in multi-age classrooms:

• Young children benefit from being exposed to concepts in the more advanced curriculum

• Older children benefit as they teach information and skills to younger classmates which allows them to reinforce their learning and “cement” their knowledge base

• All students in multi-age settings were more likely than their peers to have positive self-concepts, high self-esteem, and good attitudes toward school

Tuesday-Thursday PM is organized as a S.T.E.A.M. class. We emphasize science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math activities in addition to regular curriculum content as a fun way to further our students learning.  S.T.E.A.M. provides important inquiry-based learning as a way to broaden children’s thinking skills and increase engagement. Children are natural born tinkerers who love to build, create, question and experiment!
