Montessori Summer Sessions
Our Summer Sessions provide children between the ages of 4 and 10 (Three and Under Program also available) with a wealth of experiences, activities, and projects in an environment that is safe, relaxed and nurturing, yet stimulating.
Each day, Montessori-trained teachers will be presenting lessons to help the children engage in hands-on learning activities that expose them to science, practical life skills, and sensorial explorations. They also explore nature, and engage in a variety of art projects, games and special classes. Special guests present onsite lessons and entertainment for the children. And there’s plenty of FUN too!
