SUMMER PROGRAMS
Evergreen Montessori House Summer Program
For 2 years 9 months to 6 years of age
Our language program emphasizes creative thinking and writing. We encourage your child to express himself / herself easily. It involves Arts and Crafts to combine fun with learning. Your child’s thinking process will be enhanced as well his/her creative ability.
In our regular school year program we do Creative Writing with less emphasis. It is a simple process as the child draws a picture his/her thoughts are in it. Here we intend to bring that out. We ask the child what his or her picture is about. Every picture has a story to tell. As he or she tells us the story we help them put it to paper. For the older kids it is a spontaneous activity. As the picture takes a shape it builds your child's confidence in their self-expression. It provokes independent thought, vocabulary and formation of sentences.
Our Science Program stresses Nature in all its wonderment. It is a hands on science project detailing on plant life and growth. Simple scientific experiments will be conducted. For animal life we will present the animal life cycle - from egg to incubation to birth. The whole process enthralls our students.
Our Our Math Program will teach adding, subtracting, multiplication and division.
