Event Details
Please ask staff from the children’s desk to enter the program room anytime between 10 am and 3 pm on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month.
Children age 2–6 and their caregivers are invited to Mini-Montessori! Montessori play is purposeful play that mimics real-life tasks. It focuses on mindfulness during activities and focusing on the task at hand. There is no “right way” to interact in a Montessori setting. The goal is for children to independently interact and come up with their own creative solutions using trial and error.
Developmental milestones necessary for a child to completely interact in this program would be:
- Out of teething phase
- Moving independently
- Ability to communicate and/or follow direction
- Comfortable around objects such as rice, paint, and small objects

Attending Children
Children under 8 must be monitored by a guardian who is at least 13 years old to assure the safety and behavior of that child. Children ages 8 and older may visit the library independently provided they are able to care for themselves and are able to understand and follow the Library’s Behavior Guidelines.
