Summer Program
Summer Discovery Program – 2021
Welcome to the Pincushion Hill Montessori School Summer Discovery Program. We are guided by the educational philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori and are a warm, safe, and supportive community that nurtures a lifelong love of learning. Pincushion’s Summer Discovery Program offers fun-filled adventures tailored for children 2.9 years old through 10 years old. Our discovery sessions explore a variety of themes including ocean studies, gardening, wildlife, exploration of the natural world, creating, building, lego programs, arts, crafts, music and movement. The theme for this summer will be endangered animals.
Our extensive and mature gardens offer pure fun to explore everything from growing annuals, perennials, flowers, herbs, and vegetables. The weekly seasonal harvest yields many varieties of food for cooking and baking projects.
Weekly sessions begin June 14, 2021 and run through August 13, 2021. The school is closed on Monday July 5, 2021 in observance of Independence Day. The summer program hours are 8:30am to 5:30pm. Whether joining us for part of the summer or the entire 9-week program all children are sure to enjoy learning, playing, and creating in our indoor and outdoor classrooms.
