The
Montessori Summer Program is another dimension of our 'lived and
learned life experience' that nurtures our children's ever-unfolding
intellectual, physical and socio-cultural sensitivities. It has been
intended to cater to children's specific developmental needs, while
making due allowance for parent's busy schedules. It encompasses a
single session of three weeks to suit your child's natural
propensity for early summer adventure.
Your
child's attendance through the session's complete duration will be
invaluable in consideration of his/her overall development.
However, the
Montessori summer program has been designed with a flexible schedule for those who are unable to attend through its complete three week
duration from Monday, June 11, 2007 to Friday, June 29, 2007.
In such circumstances, the Montessori office will be pleased to tailor a
program to suit each family's specific needs.
It is highly recommended
for:
1.
Students who well deserve continuity in their Montessori lifestyle coupled
with summer experiences.
2.
Students with special needs in mathematics and language based activities.
3.
Students who require specialized training in computer technology.
4. New
enrollees of the Fall Session, as orientation for their Montessori
experience.
Location:
Our beautiful Bainbridge
campus of Solon Montessori School is conveniently situated (just south
of the U.S. 422 freeway exit) minutes away from Auburn, Aurora,
Bentleyville, Chagrin Falls, Hunting Valley, Moreland Hills, Novelty,
Orange Village, Pepper Pike, Russell, Solon and Twinsburg.
The facilities here have
been innovatively and tastefully designed in accordance with the
Montessori vision of a "prepared environment exclusively for the
child of 2 to 12 years." Our very child-oriented Bainbridge
campus, no doubt, will fulfill every youngster's dream for undisturbed
exploration and fun in learning both indoors and out.
