STEPPING STONES: 
Half-Day Program

Ages 3-4 at time of session start 

Arrival: 8:30-8:35

Dismissal: 11:50-12:00

Our half-day program is designed for children who are transitioning up from a Twos program into Preschool, children who want a sweet, cozy, small-group experience, and for children who are just beginning to acclimate to a Montessori environment and work cycle and want to take things one step at a time. 

 

This warm and friendly program offers a sampling of the Montessori Early Childhood experience, as well as a wonderful place to meet new friends and new teachers. Designed specifically with the needs of three-year-olds and young fours in mind, activities encompass many of the materials and works that are found year-round in the Montessori preschool classroom. However, the particular focus of the summer is on social development, care-of-self skills, and art activities, as well as a curricular theme for each session (stay tuned for this year's themes!). Programming also includes group singing, movement, and, of course, plenty of outdoor activity on the rooftop playground. The Stepping Stones Summer Class is the perfect place for new or adjusting preschoolers to spend cool, happy mornings.

 

Please note: Many families using Camp as a way to transition their child from a half-day program to a full-day program in the fall start with the Stepping Stones earlier in the summer and then switch to Skipping Stones (full-day) later for Session 2 or Session 3. 

 

Children joining camp half- or full-day should be progressing with their independent toileting skills (in underwear, but occasional accidents are ok!).

SKIPPING STONES & ROLLING STONES:
Full-Day Program for Acclimated Campers

Ages: 3-6.5 at time of session start

Arrival: 8:35-8:40

Dismissal: 2:50-3:00

Our full-day program is designed for children aged 3-6.5 years old who are already accustomed to having mornings and afternoons away from home, and who are used to separating and joining a bustling community of peers.

 

Our Full-Day program offers an engaging, vibrant, and fun Montessori experience full of play, projects, social learning, and, for older and returning campers, practice with leadership and role-modeling. Full-day campers can look forward to lots of projects-- including service or community projects that they choose, design, and participate in. Our older students (aged 5+) can look forward to afternoon "Power Hours" that are specifically project-oriented in nature. As always, the particular focus of the summer is on social development, care-of-self skills and art activities, as well as a curricular theme for each session (stay tuned for this year's themes!). Programming also includes group singing, movement, and, of course, plenty of outdoor activity on the rooftop playground. 

Full-day campers bring their own lunches and are welcome to enjoy their own snacks or snacks that we provide. Campers should be nearly or completely independent with toilet skills (in underwear, but occasional accidents are ok!).
