This is a curious summer. Some children have returned to school after months away. Others are still at home with their families, maybe now for long enough that the regular routine of going to school at all seems long forgotten. While your infant or toddler may be attending school less often, or not at all, there's still so much development happening. As small children move into the dog-days of summer, you may notice that the nostalgia you have for the quiet days of summer vac

For Elementary children, though, the mix of summer adventures often brings with it new challenges in the most important areas of their lives: their social world. As children spend more time in summer activities, they are often exposed to more children or different groupings of children than they've

By the time your child is in Early Childhood, they likely have a better ability to discern between different kinds of days: school days, weekend days, holidays, etc. They may be contributing to the end of the school year, cleaning their classrooms or helping to put things away and, while they still are developing their understanding of concepts of time, they may demonstrate a wide range of emotions as they get ready to leave their classrooms for the summer.

While many Montessori programs offer summer care, most American schools are shifting gears at this time of year, moving from a more formal, school year calendar to more relaxed activities for the longer days of summer. While your infant or toddler may be attending school less often, or not at all, there's still so much development happening.
