Curriculum:
Every day of the summer program will feature our trained teachers giving authentic Montessori lessons in our prepared environment. True Montessori pedagogy is a must all year round at VDM! However, during the summer program, each day also has an extracurricular focus!
Mondays will be our music day. Our trained lead teachers will be diving into lessons using the Montessori Bells and exploring the diatonic scale. The children will also have the opportunity to sing old favorites and learn new songs.
Tuesdays, the teachers will prepare a special art activity and guide the children in devoting time to improving their creative skills and abilities.
Wednesdays will see our students focusing on some topic of historical or scientific significance. The teachers will give a lesson on some important landmark, famous event, geographical feature, or interesting experiment.
Thursdays are Author Spotlight days. The children will listen to a beloved children’s book and have a short discussion about the life of the author who wrote the story.
Fridays will be times for outside fun. Our teachers will lead sports and playground games while encouraging community spirit through play.
