Moving Up

Every year, to celebrate each child's completion of their grade level, Montessori del Mar holds a "Moving Up" Ceremony. Each student receives a certificate and a red rose. After these are all handed out, the Sprout Preschool graduates are announced and introduced. Then each child stands up and hands out a certificate of Appreciation to another student, recognizing them for being a “good friend” or a “funny guy.”

The Great Lessons Play

The children of Montessori del Mar are so lucky to have Teacher Lorry, who not only teaches and guides them during the day at the Learning Center, but also has many years of on-stage and acting experience. Lorry has been working with the Children all year on "The Great Lessons Play" and they were so excited to present it to parents during the last week of school.

Tetherball

Thanks to some hard working parents, the children now have a tetherball on the playground. And what an exciting addition it has been!

End of the Year Party

The children and families of Montessori del Mar got together to celebrate the end of a great school year. There was badminton, frog catching, roasting marshmallows and hot dogs and most importantly, really good times with friends. Happy Summer Vacation!

Music Recital

Montessori del Mar children were so excited for family and friends to join them at a local coffee house for a music recital last month.

This production was put on by our incredible and much loved music teacher, Myra. This amazing lady not only teaches music and instructs the children at the Learning Center, she also gives private lessons to several students after class.

Music is a huge part of daily life at Montessori del Mar. The children sing songs of peace, thankfulness and friendship. They learn songs in different languages and sing each day before washing their hands for lunch.

It was a full house the night of the concert.

For the grand finale, the children sang and played a round of "Love is a Little Word" with Myra on the piano.
