The Montessori School offers a nurturing, non-competitive learning environment for children ages 2 to 12.  We offer a variety of programs that allow children to explore science, nature, history and geography; create music, art and craft projects; and learn skills through cooking and recreational sports.

Our beautiful campus with its farm-like setting (conveniently located at the corner of Falls & Greenspring Valley Roads in Lutherville), presents a world of wonder for children during the summer months.  We welcome children to join us each summer for a most exciting and enjoyable experience!

Ages 2 to 3

Summer Toddler Preschool
Ages 2 and 3
9:15 a.m.–11:30 a.m.
Monday–Friday
Available Sessions: 1, 2 & 3

The Summer Toddler Preschool is designed as an introduction to the Montessori classroom or as a continuation for those children currently enrolled in the toddler program during the regular school year. The first day of the session we encourage one parent or caregiver to stay with the child. Once the children are engaged in the classroom activities, they are comfortable exploring the magic of Montessori on their own for the duration of the session. Children explore and experiment with the classroom materials while striving to improve motor skills, language abilities and socialization skills. They also enjoy singing songs, listening to stories, doing arts and crafts, and outdoor play.
Note: Enrollment limited to 12 students per class.

Summer Montessori is an introduction for children who are new to the Montessori classroom or a continuation for children who are enrolled in our primary program during the regular school year. In the Montessori classroom, children move about and choose materials from easily accessible shelves. One child might paint, as another places beads into groups of ten to perform a math function and a third child prepares a snack, while the teacher works with a small group forming words using sandpaper letters. Children also enjoy singing, storytelling and outdoor play.
