A Joyful Summer in the Children’s House
This summer our Montessori Children’s House has been filled with sunshine, laughter, and countless opportunities for learning and connection. For our newest students, the experience began with a gentle phase-in period, allowing them to settle into the classroom at their own pace. With patience and enthusiasm, our older and more experienced classmates welcomed them and guided them through daily routines while modeling the grace, courtesy, and independence that define our community.
Much of our time was spent outdoors, where the playground, gardens, and sprinklers became joyful extensions of the classroom. Children collected rocks and weeds to make mud pies and nature ‘soup’ in the side yard, observed growing plants in the gardens, and cooled off under the spray of water on warm mornings.
We also enjoyed special experiences that made this summer truly memorable. Mark Binder, master storyteller, brought tales to life that sparked imaginations. “The Bubble Guy” delighted everyone with shimmering, floating creations that danced through the air. Our field trip to the North Shore Music Theatre to see “Finding Nemo” was another highlight, giving the children the magic of live performance.
Inside the classroom, learning never paused. Students extended their skills in math, reading, and writing, explored practical life activities, and dove into fascinating science lessons. The Montessori environment, rich in materials and guided by curiosity, allowed the children to work with the materials that nurtured their love for learning.
