Health & Wellness at Little Beach House Montessori
At Little Beach House Montessori, we believe that a child’s well-being is the foundation for learning and growth. Our Health & Wellness Program is designed to support physical vitality, emotional balance, and a deep connection to nature, ensuring that every child thrives in a safe, clean, and mindful environment.
Through nutritious eating habits, mindfulness practices, outdoor exploration, and a focus on emotional well-being, we cultivate a holistic approach to health that nurtures both body and mind.
Nutrition & Healthy Eating Habits
We encourage wholesome eating habits by fostering an understanding of food, nutrition, and mindful eating practices.
- Lunches from Home with a Healthy Focus – Families provide lunches from home, and we encourage balanced, nutrient-rich meals that support focus, energy, and growth.
- Snack Time & Hydration – We emphasize staying hydrated throughout the day and provide designated snack times to maintain steady energy levels.
- Organic Gardening & Farm-to-Table Learning – Children engage in gardening, harvesting, and food preparation activities, building a deeper appreciation for fresh, whole foods.
- Allergy Awareness & Special Diet Considerations – We work closely with families to ensure a safe, allergen-conscious environment for all children.
Movement, Outdoor Play & Physical Well-Being
Active movement and outdoor experiences are essential for healthy development. Our program integrates:
- Daily Outdoor Play – Running, climbing, balancing, and exploring in safe, nature-rich environments.
- Yoga & Mindful Movement – Helping children develop body awareness, flexibility, and relaxation techniques.
- Nature Walks & Beach Exploration – Encouraging a deep connection to nature while promoting physical and sensory development.
Emotional Well-Being & Mindfulness
A child’s emotional health is just as important as their physical well-being. We incorporate:
- Mindfulness & Breathwork – Teaching children simple breathing techniques to help them manage emotions and focus.
- Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) – Fostering kindness, respect, and emotional intelligence through thoughtful interactions.
- Calm, Nurturing Environment – Providing a peaceful atmosphere where children feel secure, valued, and supported.
Health & Hygiene Practices
We maintain high standards of cleanliness to ensure a safe and healthy environment:
- Frequent Handwashing Routines – Encouraging proper hygiene throughout the day.
- Daily Sanitization of Learning Spaces & Materials – Ensuring a clean and germ-free environment.
- CPR & First Aid Certified Staff – All staff members are trained in emergency care and illness prevention.
- Wellness Policies – Families are asked to keep children home if they are unwell, promoting a healthy school community.
