Daily Life at Bayou Blossoms

Hours & Calendar

Our program is designed around the rhythms of childhood: unhurried mornings, outdoor time, and the freedom to follow curiosity.

Program Hours

A full day of rooted work

Our full-day program gives children the unhurried time they need to truly settle in: into the work cycle, into outdoor exploration, into their own unfolding curiosity.

Full Day

8:00 am – 3:15 pm

Montessori work cycle, outdoor exploration, lunch, enrichment, and rest.

Extended Day

3:15 pm – 4:30 pm

Aftercare with group snack and free play for families who need a longer day. Offered when there is sufficient enrollment interest. Let us know if your family needs it.
