A Summer of Discovery, Wonder, and Adventure!

Summer has arrived, and we are excited to welcome our children to a season filled with exploration, hands-on learning, and unforgettable experiences! Our Montessori summer program is designed to nurture curiosity, independence, and a love of nature while providing plenty of opportunities for fun and friendship.

🌊 Under the Sea Adventure

We will dive beneath the waves with our exciting Under the Sea theme! Children will explore ocean habitats, learn about fascinating sea creatures, create ocean-inspired art projects, enjoy themed sensory activities, and discover the importance of caring for our planet’s waters.

🦋 Live Butterfly Project

We are so excited to experience a Live Butterfly Observation Project. Preschool children will have the opportunity to safely observe the incredible metamorphosis process as caterpillars transform into beautiful butterflies. This hands-on science experience encourages wonder, patience, and appreciation for the natural world.

More Time Outdoors

Summer is the perfect time to enjoy nature! We will be spending increased time outdoors exploring, observing wildlife, gardening, and engaging in Montessori-inspired outdoor learning activities. Fresh air and movement support healthy development and provide endless opportunities for discovery.

“There must be provision for the child to have contact with nature; to understand and appreciate the order, the harmony, and the beauty in nature.” — Maria Montessori
