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 the 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.
