##Transitions##

Transitions is a lunch and nap program at the [Children's House](/childrens_house) for younger children not yet old enough to stay for afternoon work in the Montessori classroom.  Children come to the Transitions classroom for lunch, a quiet rest period, and games, puzzles, songs, and stories, from 12:00 to 3:00.  Transitions is a 5 day a week program, and the cost is the same as full day enrollment in the Montessori classroom.  Some Transitions children move to the Montessori classroom part way through the year, as age and readiness indicate.
