summer camps

The staff at Global Village Montessori preschool is very excited to bring an action-packed Summer of 2013 filled with fun, adventure and active learning.

What’s in store?
10 weeks of Summer camps (each camp is 1 week in duration) and learning arranged into different themes for children aged 2-6 years. Our summer camps are arranged into 3 different age groups - Toddler, Primary and Kindergarten - so that kids have the most fun and learning.

All of our summer camps are conducted by certified Montessori teachers along with the help of assistant teachers and in some cases outside experts.
Our camps include academic learning, music, arts, crafts, outdoor play, water play and special guests.

Our regular preschool students are automatically enrolled in the summer camps. New students can sign up for any week of their choice until spaces are available.

Snacks (two in a day) are provided and a catered lunch is available for an additional fee.

We will also have a water activity day in our play area (bring your wet suits) and enjoy some summer treats.





Week 2, June 17th to 21st, Fairy Tales week

Children will travel into the dreamy, fairy tale world this week. We will read and hear fairy tales. We will dress up as princes, princesses and explore castles. Dressing up allows children to express creatively. Activities during this week include learning to make their own Fairy Tale Book, dressing up in their Fairy Tale costumes, an exciting puppet show visitor, and a pajama party.












Week 3, June 24th to 28th, ‘We love science!’ week

Children will discover how much fun Science is and become scientists for a week. We will do a number of science-related activities during this week on topics such as light, color, heat, plants, oil/water, germination, butterflies, magnets, volcanoes and many more. We will also have some fun activities such as making Ooey Gooey, water day and arts/crafts sprinkled throughout the week. Finally, we will have a surprise science visitor stop by on one of the days










Week 4, July 1st to 5th, Camping week

Who doesn’t love a camping trip. We will bring camping to our school in this week. We will learn how to put up a tent, learn the basics of camping out in the wild, build a fire (not the real one), make smores, read camping stories, sing camping songs. Kids can bring their sleeping bags to school. We will go on a scavenger hunt and do lots of arts/crafts during this week. We will learn about respecting nature and reinforce the importance of taking care of our surroundings







Week 5, July 8th to 12th, Avian (Birds) week

Birds, Birds, Birds! We will learn about the exotic and local Avian species, their unique habits and their migrations. We will bring some of the birds to our school for the children to watch from close quarters and learn more about them. We will learn to make our very own bird nest and bird houses. We will do a number of arts and crafts during this week








Week 6, July 15th to 19th, Little Chef’s week

We love healthy food at Global Village Montessori and it is important for the kids to learn the basics of healthy eating. We will all become chefs for the week and learn the basics of nutrition, healthy eating and cooking. We will learn to cut, spread, mix, measure, roll and cook. We will make healthy snack such as Ants-on-a-log, Snack mix, Fruit salad, Veggie salad and finish with yummy cookies and cupcakes (we can’t always eat healthy you know). We will also experience different tastes, textures, smells and colors










Week 7, July 22nd to 26th, Farm at school week

We love the farm at Global Village Montessori. We will bring the farm to school this week. Kids will learn about life in the farm and the value of simple living. We will learn about growing our own vegetables, we will make a barn and we will have special guests visiting our school who need petting (guess who that might be?). We will do a number of arts and crafts related to the farm. If you have a pet that you want to bring along to school to share with your friends, this is the week.





Week 8, July 29th to Aug 2nd, Circus and Carnival week

Yeah, Circus and Carnival is in town! Kids will learn about the Circus and Carnival, enjoy a number of games, get their faces painted, learn to juggle, toss bean bags and many more. We will end the week with our very own carnival on Friday

Oh those magical islands! We can’t take you there but we will try to bring a slice of Hawaii to the preschool this week. We will learn about the origins of Hawaiian islands and explore Hawaiian food, music, dance, art, culture during this week. We will also have our very own Luau party. Mahalo!







Week 10, Aug 12th to 16th, Fun and party week

This is our grand celebration of the end of summer. We have a lot of things planned for this week including a potluck of foods from different cultures, a dance party, kids performances, fun arts/crafts and many more activities
