 Summer Nature Program

THE LITTLES (3-4 year olds)
Summer fun is best experienced by these bright lights and precious souls.
Montessori allows the Mentor to follow the children as they learn naturally. Whether in the classroom, on the playground, reading stories under the trees, or taking a Friluftsliv Nature Hike. the Littles always keep us smiling.

The quiet and prepared inside space provides for a nurturing learning environment. Outdoors water and sand, sun and swings, stories and movement keep children's active minds and bodies fulfilled. 

Each child gets one on one time with the Horses every day.
"I have been amazed to see the incredible confidence that has been awoken in the 3-6 year olds while riding horses.
They have connected with the horses in a way that they have gained trust in one another through determination and kindness!
Keep it up horse riders!” ~Horse program assistant

We have had such a fun start to summer getting to know your children! Each week we continue to foster independence in all we do throughout the day with our 3-6 year olds. Our motto is “We can do hard things!” The children have enjoyed beginning their day with practical life works of pouring and tweezing etc. These materials help build muscle strength, hand eye coordination, focus/concentration, and independence.

Maria Montessori said ““The hands are the instruments of intelligence,” and “The human hand allows the mind to reveal itself”.The children are getting into a routine of knowing how to clean up after themselves and put their works away when complete. They have so much pride being
able and accomplishing the Montessori works on their own.

​Every morning we have a lesson at the circle where we have talked about metamorphosis, being kind and peaceful and living in harmony with each other and mother earth. We also go over the calendar singing songs about the months, days of the week, and the weather of the day. They are continuing to build valuable social skills that include sharing and using their voice in a gentle way to express their feelings. They are a delightful group of children that get along in such a loving way! It is incredible to observe them become confident beams of light!
