Redbud's summer program is not run as a Montessori classroom, but the guiding principles of Maria Montessori's theories are in place. Encouragement in respect of others and yourself is supported as the daily guidelines we follow during the academic year are implemented.
With all of our Montessori materials put away for the summer, Redbud kids will enjoy water play and gooey art projects.
