Field Trip to The Apple Farm

The Children of Montessori del Mar and Sprouts Montessori Children's House all carpooled over to Philo in November to visit The Apple Farm.

The Children and parents were given a tour of the amazing grounds, including a walk around the farm, garden and orchard. There were goats, chickens, pigs, sheep and horses. Then everyone sampled some apples and had a little fresh pressed apple cider.

After a nice walk and a few treats, we settled down in the warm sun on the back patio and enjoyed a nice lunch with friends.

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.”
