Children’s House Montessori School announces fall progams and enrollment

The Children's House Montessori School in Camden is now enrolling children for the 2009-2010 school year. In its thirtieth year, the Children's House is a private, non-profit school serving children ages 18 months to 9 years. It provides an exciting and nurturing environment with developmentally appropriate classrooms and materials designed to contribute to the growth of self-motivated, independent learners with a love for life.

The Children's House has three different age-appropriate programs and offers Before and After School Care. In the Toddler program, children are offered an opportunity to develop independence in a spacious, cheerful environment designed especially for their needs. Toddlers ages 18 months to 3 years meet 2, 3 or 5 mornings a week from 8:30 a.m. to noon. The Primary Program is designed for children ages three to kindergarten. The classroom provides a richly filled child-sized environment suited to the wide range of capabilities and interests of this age group. Children in Primary may come either 3 or 5 mornings a week, and they have the option of extending their day in the afternoon. Kindergartners are also included in this group and attend 5 full-days a week. The Elementary Program is designed to serve children ages six to nine and is equivalent to first, second and third grades. The Elementary program balances the child's developing imagination and powers of abstraction with concrete, hands-on materials. Art and music are integrated into the curriculum and outside play is a part of everyday.

The Children's House will also offer Before and After School Care for Primary and Elementary students from 7:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. beginning next year.

The Children's House Montessori School is located in downtown Camden in the historic Elm Street School. For more information or to schedule a visit, please call the office, 236-2911. Children's House will also be participating in the Independent Schools Association Open House on Saturday, March 28, 10 a.m. to noon. The school and its classrooms will be open at this time for tours, information and a chance to meet faculty and families of the school. Any interested family is invited and parents are encouraged to bring their children to explore the classrooms themselves. soource>>>
