2024 Primary Summer

Primary preschool summer program

Summer Primary (3-5 year olds*)

Enroll in Summer

*Children who have finished Kindergarten should enroll in the summer Elementary program.

Summer at The Children’s House is the perfect blend of our prepared Montessori environments and a distinctive flavor of summer fun. Campers enjoy a variety of engaging activities within the familiar Montessori environment and curriculum. Some weeks will include special guests including storytellers and musicians! This year we are excited to have three Primary classrooms so children can enjoy smaller class sizes and increased consistency in their school-year environment. Primary Guides Taylor Vancil, Chelsea Seals and Kristi Johnson will spend the warm days with our group.  

Weekly Highlights Include:

  • Balance Bike Program every Monday morning! We provide the bikes and helmets (you may bring your own balance bike or helmet from home).
  • Splash days TBD (weather permitting) including sprinkler fun.
  • Cooking
  • Crafts
  • Gardening
  • Bike parade on July 3rd in celebration of Independence Day week. 
  • Pizza Wednesdays - Pizza will be available for Primary and Lower Elementary campers.  To order, please use Boonli and be sure to change your student’s profile to their summer classroom. (Nido & YCC will be billed separately.) Email Marty if you have questions (martin@traversechildrenshouse.org).
  • Guest programs include music, storytelling, and more!
