Summer Program

Continue to grow, year-round

Our Summer Program continues the warm, nurturing rhythm of our school year while offering children more time to explore, create, and connect. 

Each day, children spend time in our garden, where open-ended experiences with the water table, sand box, mud kitchen, and splash pod invite investigation, collaboration, and joyful play. Beneath the shade of our tree, children observe nature, ask questions, and follow their natural sense of wonder. Our outdoor easel encourages children to express their ideas through art while responding to the colors, textures, and movement around them.

Indoors, our calm and thoughtfully prepared classrooms continue to support meaningful relationships with peers and teachers. Together, we listen, explore, and learn—nurturing creativity, confidence, and a strong sense of belonging within our community.

Our Summer Program runs between July 6th and August 14th from 8 am to 5 pm.

Compass Daily Routine

In our Infant Classroom, teachers thoughtfully follow each child’s cues and rhythms. The daily flow is flexible and responsive, allowing our teachers to meet every infant’s individual needs with care and attention. Infants spend time outdoors once or twice each day in our shaded garden area, typically for short visits of about 20 minutes.

Outside, they are invited to explore gentle sensory experiences such as playing with water, feeling the grass beneath them, and discovering the natural world in a calm and nurturing environment.
