HMS is excited to announce our 2012 Summer Program. Montessori teachers extend the multi-age classroom experience using traditional Montessori materials while focusing on an exciting cultural theme. In addition to individualized independent work, children participate in carefully planned activities, projects or games meant to enhance the general theme specific to each 2-week session. Visiting presenters, music, movement, cooking, art, and geography provide a rich and exciting experience!
Children not enrolled at HMS must be 4 years old by October 1, 2012 in order to participate in the program. Available schedules are as follows: 8:30 am-11:30 am or 8:30 am – 1:00 pm. Space is limited and registration forms will be accepted in the order received.
