Enrichment

Montessori Children’s House offers an extension to your child’s experience in the Montessori environment through our Enrichment Program. This program is designed to provide a series of cultural activities each week throughout the school year. We have contracted with professionals in each specialty area who plan and provide these activities. Some of the opportunities may be something you have considered trying for your child, and now you have the opportunity to introduce them in a familiar setting. We hope you can take advantage of this program!
