Summer Camp - Under The Sea!

Our summer day camp is a brief but special time at Children’s Garden. We make the most of the long warm mornings to savor the outdoors and be together, following the rhythms of the children. This year’s theme, Under the Sea, is gearing up to be a delightful adventure experiencing water exploration and the magic of sea creatures.
July 7-17th, Monday-Thursday 9 am-12 pm
Primary camp is open to 3, 4, and 5-year-old new and continuing Children’s Garden students. This is a great opportunity for children entering the Primary program and for having some summer fun with past and future classmates.
Space is limited. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis for current Children’s Garden families. Please contact Claire, bjp@cgmontessori.com Camp Coordinator for details and to register.

Parent Meeting: What's Next?
2025-09-30 14:00 - 15:00
The time to think about the next steps for your child is always sooner than you think. Some parents are facing the decision of where to go after completing the XP program at Children’s Garden. There are lots of public and independent schools to consider. What should you look for and ask? Others may have questions about what the next step at Children’s Garden will bring – Primary, XP or when to start the next school search.
For parents/grownups only please (infants on laps are welcome).
2pm, upstairs at CG. We try to find times that seem to coincide with when meetings are most attended – some during school hours and some evenings. Feedback is always welcome and considered!
