Each session incorporates arts and crafts, science, games, and enrichment activities; camps sometimes include a field trip or visit from an educator in the field.
Summer camps vary from year to year; information about the upcoming season’s camps is made available in early April.
Cornerspring reserves the right to cancel any session if the minimum needed for enrollment is not met.

Goals & Curriculum
Cornerspring Montessori School strives to foster independence with an environment that supports children as they develop physical, social, and intellectual independence. The classroom is designed to encourage children in their self-directed discovery of the world. We provide an environment that will stimulate, foster, and nurture the love for learning. We promote cultural sensitivity and a respect for the diversity of others through the study of other countries, cultures, beliefs, celebrations, holidays, and geography.
We are committed to individualized education, allowing children freedom to develop at their own pace. We strive to satisfy a child’s need to know, to belong, to feel safe and secure, to develop self-esteem and to nurture the love for learning that will continue to develop throughout life.
