Half-day or full day options

Our summer classrooms are set up to engross children in learning-based activities of their choosing. Every week is theme-based and has high quality activities, guest visitors, weekly field trips, and learning centers based around that theme. Students visit the pool once a week and receive a lesson with a certified instructor. Napping is available for children who need it.



Montessori Summer Program
for children ages 2.5 to 5

This program strengthens the skills that children developed during the school year and acquaints incoming students with the Montessori classroom. Every child will enjoy exploring artistic and cultural themes. Under the guidance of an experienced Evergreen Montessori teacher, children in the summer program learn by making discoveries, developing concentration, motivation, self-discipline, and a love of learning.

Students have a weekly field trip, visit the pool once a week, and receive a lesson with a certified instructor. Napping is available for children who need it.
