Why Attend Adobe Montessori’s Summer Session?

Children in their early childhood years thrive on a consistent & routine schedule. Adults have the mistaken idea that change is good. What is good for an adult is not always great for the child. Change is fun . . . for an adult. A child needs routine and repetition during their early childhood years.

Our Summer Session RETAINS AND BUILDS upon the success and progress your child has made during the school year, along with having a wonderful mix of summer activities! Your child may have just made a wonderful advance in a specific skill, only to have forgotten it due to changing their routine for too long. Ouch!!

A child’s mind needs consistent repetition. This is why we have a longer academic school year and a six week summer program. It allows for a short break after the regular session, then a short break before the 2018 – 2019 session begins. We schedule 6 consistent weeks during the summer in order to aid your child in building upon, as well as, retaining their wonderful achievements!

If your child is new and will be joining us for the 2018 – 2019 session, it is essential that he/she begin during the summer session.

If your child was enrolled mid-year, again, it is essential that he/she not have a break in their routine.

We encourage our parents to schedule their vacation to coincide with the breaks at Adobe Montessori. This will benefit your child immeasurably!

Along with the important benefits stated above,

Don't miss the AWESOME Aussie Adventure that

awaits us in

THE LAND DOWN UNDER!

You’ll want to join us and….

“Kick it” with the Kangas and Koalas!
