Ithaca Montessori School

IMS Summer Program
The Ithaca Montessori School Summer Adventures program offers an innovative and stimulating summer camp for children ages 18 months through 6 years old in a warm and nurturing environment.

Toddlers (18 mos. - 3 years of age) (Tadpoles)
Our toddlers will enjoy a wonderful summer program that provides a creative and imaginative environment ideally designed for these smallest campers. We offer a safe and nurturing experience which allows them to explore the world beyond their home environments.

The children in this program will have the opportunity to be in the specially prepared Montessori toddler classroom while enjoying individual and group play activities, music and art on a daily basis. The children will experience a healthy balance of outside activity and indoor fun. We offer two four-week sessions, which provide these young campers with the consistency they need to adjust to separation, feel safe in a new environment, and maximize their summer experience.

Our goal is to provide our campers with the opportunity to retain and develop their skills in a relaxed, summer atmosphere. We will combine exciting adventures with creative opportunities for learning. While forming new friendships, children have ample time for play, personal growth and fre exploration.

These campers will experience a new theme for every two week sessions! Each session will include cooking, crafts, music, movement, and a field trip related to the theme of the week. The afternoons will be filled with outdoor play, stories and games. Explore our themes in our Summer Program Brochure.

Although the summer program will be run by IMS staff, the focus will be on open-ended exploration and having fun! When the children are not engaged in the activities of the day, there will be toys and other materials for them to freely choose from. Assuming the weather will be lovely, we will also be bringing many activities outside.
