Editor’s note: The following press release was received from the Palmyra-Eagle Area School District.

Palmyra-Eagle Area School District is very excited to be opening up a Montessori School and Daycare in the Palmyra Elementary building this fall. We are looking forward to providing this educational option, along with offering a daycare for younger children and wrap-around care for students. Montessori Schooling is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play.

Palmyra-Eagle Montessori School will have a classroom for students in 3K-5K and also one for 1st-3rd grade. The Montessori School calendar will run the same timeline as the whole district, and the daycare will run year round. There is no cost for school-aged students to attend the Montessori School. Daycare will be $56 for a full day, and $29 for half of a day. Wraparound Care will be $11 per day for just AM or PM and $14 for both AM and PM. Families who enroll more than one child will be eligible to receive a 5% discount as well.

More information is to come in the very near future, follow Palmyra-Eagle Area School District on Facebook or visit www.peasd.org to stay up to date!
