Montessori Summer Camp At MCDC
Instruction and guidance are individualized, according to the Montessori philosophy. The atmosphere is non-competitive and planned with careful regard for each child’s personal sense of dignity. Classes are ungraded, so children participate in activities suited to their own developmental level. Arbitrary age norms are not applied, and no child is forced into an activity if he or she is not ready or is interested and able. This concept fosters a positive self concept, self-motivation and genuine enthusiasm for learning.
Summer Activities will include different themes each week include such as:
- Land and water
- Our World
- The Seven continents
