There is a very detailed schedule in"The Montessori Method"
(written by Dr. Montessori). Look for page 119, Chapter VII
"Exercises of Practical Life - Proposed winter schedule of
hours in the Children's Houses" Opening at 9:00 and closing
at 4:00. I have been working in All-Day Children's House for
12+ years. Don't forget that Music, art, drama, dancing,
poetry, movement, etc are ALL available within the structure
of the Children's House and you can develop lessons for any
subject area. These are also available throughout the day.
We have about an hour for lunch including set up and clean up
and we also go out side twice a day as a group (this is
optional but most children choose to go out). Also, we have a
small patio adjacent to our classroom where the children work
outside at any time of the day. Good luck
