San Diego Preschool Has Second Successful Year of Summer Camp

Online, October 1, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Montessori American School, a preschool residing in the outskirts of San Diego, proudly announces that its second year of summer camp was a resounding success. The decision was made to continue the summer camp program after Montessori American School's inaugural summer camp in 2012 received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback.

"For over 25 years, our preschool and kindergarten has provided children with the opportunity to receive a Montessori education during the school year," said Edith Gruener, Principal, Montessori American School. "However, our parents always had to find alternative child care for children during the summer months. Our priority at Montessori American is to provide an educational and fun environment for children. We understand that the need for this during the summer months is just as great. Obviously, it was the right decision for us to continue the program. The parents have been very pleased and we had a wonderful turnout for the second year!"

Montessori American's summer camp series took place over the summer, throughout the month of July. The camp was held on the school's campus, located at 3604 Bonita Rd., Chula Vista, CA 91910. Each week of the camp provided themes including "nature", "farm animals", "jungle animals", and "dinosaurs".

Children enjoyed a schedule of fun activities each day of the week, including things such as:

* Cooking
* Arts and crafts
* Water play
* Science projects
* Sport and outdoor activities
* Games and contests
* Dancing
* Spanish lessons
* Story times

In addition, children were invited to participate in themed days, such as "Pajama Day", "Wacky Day", "Crazy Hair Day", and "Sports Day". The camp's unique activity schedule creatively combined fun and education, providing children the opportunity to continue progressing through the summer by keeping their minds and bodies active.

Because of the great demand and the success of the past two years, Montessori American plans to continue hosting its summer camp program in coming years. For more information about summer camps, other class schedules throughout the year, contact MAS at (619) 422-1220.
