Why Tracy Parents Choose Our Summer Program
Most summer childcare in Tracy offers supervised play with no real curriculum behind it. Our summer school is different it runs the same Montessori morning routine your child follows during the school year, so there’s no September reset. By the time fall arrives, your child hasn’t lost anything. They’ve built on it.
The science themes aren’t decoration. Children handle real 3D animal models, piece together puzzles of ocean invertebrates, follow the butterfly life cycle with caterpillars hatching in the classroom, and complete themed arts and crafts projects that tie directly to what they’re learning that week. This is the kind of hands-on Montessori learning that makes children genuinely excited to come in on Monday morning.

Every Morning: Montessori Curriculum
While afternoons go deep into the weekly science theme, mornings follow the same structured Montessori curriculum your child uses during the school year. Four core areas, every day, with individualized pacing.
Practical life
Self-help skills, care of the environment, grace and courtesy. Children learn real-world independence pouring, folding, sweeping with purpose.
Sensorial
Visual, tactile, auditory, gustatory, and olfactory sense refinement. Children sharpen their ability to observe, compare, and classify the world around them.
Language arts
Receptive language (listening, reading) and expressive language (speaking, writing). Connected directly to the weekly animal theme for real-world vocabulary.
Mathematics
Linear counting, quantity and symbol relationships, base ten, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division all through hands-on Montessori materials.
