Our Montessori enrichment programs bring a little extra magic to the afternoons at our Woodbury and Portola Springs campuses, giving children warm, joyful spaces to explore their interests beyond the classroom. These enrichment activities flow naturally from the Montessori philosophy, hands-on learning, movement, creativity, and real-world experiences that help children grow in every direction.

About Our Montessori Enrichment Programs
Our enrichment program brings an extra layer of warmth, creativity, and discovery to your child's day, offering thoughtfully chosen classes that beautifully complement Montessori learning. Each activity invites children to explore the world in a hands-on, meaningful way, through movement, music, art, teamwork, problem-solving, and joyful self-expression. These experiences help students deepen their confidence, follow their interests, and grow into curious, capable learners who feel excited about trying new things.
Our Montessori Enrichment After-School Activities
Yoga
Our yoga classes help children strengthen coordination, focus, and healthy eating habits while learning calming breathing techniques that support social and emotional learning. With simple poses and movement games, kids build body awareness and mindfulness in a gentle, fun way.
Fine Art
Through painting, drawing, and fun projects, children practice fine motor skills, self-expression, and creativity while learning about art from around the world. This enrichment activity helps students learn to observe details, appreciate beauty, and develop early writing skills through hand strengthening.
Soccer Shots
Soccer Shots introduces children to teamwork, sportsmanship, and problem-solving while keeping them active in a fun and encouraging environment. Through simple drills and games, many kids build confidence, coordination, and healthy habits that strengthen both their physical and emotional well-being.

Our dance classes blend music lessons, movement, and creativity to help children develop balance, rhythm, and self-confidence. With age-appropriate routines and imaginative props, students practice memory, coordination, and social skills while having a wonderful time.
Klay Kids (Ceramics)
Ceramics gives children the chance to explore texture, shape, and design through hands-on learning with clay. This enrichment activity supports fine motor development, patience, and problem-solving skills as students create their own crafts and imaginative art pieces.

We transferred our daughter here when we found out Ms. Jaimee was joining the school. She led a great charge at the school we, previously, attended. She positively changed the environment, brought a wonderful learning and fun atmosphere, and hired some exceptional staff. On top of that, meeting with Ms Josie put it over the top. Wonderful educator in every sense. Excited for our daughter to thrive here.

We have tried two other preschools in our area for our son and daughter and nothing compares to Spectrum Montessori. The beautiful facilities that are so well taken care of are wonderful, but what truly shines is the teachers and administrators. Their love and care for each and every child that comes through their doors is truly unmatched. Mrs. Brenda is a phenomenal Director and takes the time to know each student and their families, always being available and encouraging at every step. Ms. Cassy and Ms. Monse are our daughter's teachers and I cannot tell you how much they have changed how our daughter sees school. She is excited at every drop off and every pick up she is chatting about her day and all of the things she got to do. Our daughter has truly blossomed and feels like part of a community at Spectrum Montessori. We are so lucky to have found this school!
