Oh, the weather outside is frightful, the snow is not so delightful, so it time to Time to think about SummercvProgram, RIGHT?! Well, we all have been! As in the past, we will be breaking the children up into groups according to age level (Older Toddler through School age) and have the lessons ready to rotate and have the in-room teachers teach the prepared lessons. We will still have the 2 - 4 different Sessions (depending on your child’s hours) per day. Each session will offer, lessons, projects, games, and lots of information. The camp has strong Montessori AND educational overtones. All the sessions will be taught at an age and skill appropriate level, this way everyone is learning at a pace meant for them.

Our summer program is a great way for your child to have fun while learning in a familiar environment. The children continue to grow, learn and explore in a comfortable atmosphere, while they are meeting new friends, and spending time with their old ones. All the children who come have a great time while learning lots of new information!
