Learn About Our 2021 Summer Program

The fun and learning just doesn’t stop at Eden Prairie Montessori...

Every year from June-August we have our Summer Session, which means year-round care and education for your child!

Montessori education continues to be our main focus, preventing a gap in learning over the summer months, but we like to infuse some more fun into the program to celebrate summer and the warmer weather. Our Summer Session is filled with exciting activities for kids to explore Science, Art, Music, Nature, Language, and more.

Some of these activities are academic, some are pure enjoyment, and the children always take something from them. Our staff believe that summer preschool in Eden Prairie is not only about fun and learning, but about how children explore and develop new skills. Our summer program supports the Montessori method of learning, meaning your preschooler will enjoy structured, multi-sensory materials for exploratory learning and development.

Here are some of the activities we have planned:

Outdoor Learning Opportunities
Science Camp
Art Camp
Nature Studies
Water Days
Theme Weeks
Due to Coronovirus, we are bringing the field trips to us! We have 5 field trips scheduled for this summer along with our coordinating theme weeks.

Every week of our Summer Session focuses on a different theme. Our summer 2021 Theme Weeks include:

Gardening Week
Science Week
Animals of the Ocean
Celebrate America and Our Families
Weather Week
Nature Week
Insects Week
Olympics and Healthy Athletes
Wild Animals and Their Habitats
Geography: Landmarks Week & Big Cities Week
Cultural Week
Friendship and Spirit Week

Raising Helpers: Nurturing the Joy of Pitching In

by Shonali Harrison • 31 May 2025

Let’s talk about one of the best things about toddlers (aside from their adorable vocabulary and unmatched snack enthusiasm): they love to help. Truly. Whether they’re dragging a broom twice their size across the floor or insisting on stirring the pancake batter, they’re all in. To them, daily tasks aren’t “chores” - they are important jobs! Real, grown-up work. Work that says, you matter and you belong here. But if your once-eager toddler has morphed into a bigger kid who suddenly seems less thrilled about helping out, you’re not alone. As children grow, they become more independent and focused on their own interests. It’s totally natural and actually a beautiful sign of their development! Still, that doesn’t mean the desire to help disappears. We just have to nurture it a little differently. Here are some simple, Montessori-inspired ways to keep that helpful spirit alive as your child grows...

Dr. Maria Montessori acknowledged that children are continually striving for independence, which includes mastering toilet use. The Montessori approach to this developmental stage emphasizes the child's learning process over traditional training methods.
