Summer Program at Cave creek Montessori

Long summer days are made for exploration, creativity, and a little bit of splashy fun — and that’s exactly what we do at CCM! From hands-on projects to special visitors and themed adventures, our summer program keeps children learning, laughing, and making memories all season long. Every Friday is Water Play Friday, and twice during the summer we bring out our giant bounce house water slide for an all-day splash party. Whether it’s meeting amazing animals with the AZ Herpetological Society, chasing bubbles with the Bubble Maniacs, or digging into exciting science experiments, there’s always something new to discover.

We welcome children in all our summer age groups:

  • Toddlers (18 months – 3 years)
  • Preschool & Kindergarten (3 – 6 years)
  • Elementary (1st – 3rd grade, when offered)

Siblings are welcome, and families with more than one child can take advantage of our multi-child discount.

What Parents Say

  • Victoria Anderson

    My daughter attended CCM for three years and completed the kindergarten program. I didn’t know one single teacher could have such a life-long impact on a student. Not only did my daughter learn the important life skills montessori teaches, but Ms. Brenda had her reading by age 4 and adding numbers so large they would go off the page. Though my daughter was exceeding in class, nothing compares for a mom to the safe, comforting, and encouraging space this teacher provided for each of her students to truly thrive with confidence in all aspects of their lives.Now she is in first grade and I just had her first parent teacher conference at a new school. The results of this conference were a direct reflection of the amazing beginning she had at CCM in Ms. Brenda’s class. She tests above average in all subjects, is a highly skilled reader, and has received multiple awards for being a role model to her classmates and navigating social situations. Her new teacher’s exact words were, “She must have gotten a VERY great start at her last school.” CCM will always hold such a special place in our hearts, but most importantly, the genuine love and care of a teacher for her students has made a life-long impact, and we are forever grateful!!!!

  • Bhavani Mullapudi

    This is a wonderful school with genuinely kind and caring teachers and staff. And this school has a welcoming and inclusive environment that fosters a sense of community among the students and parents. The facilities are top-notch, with plenty of outdoor space for the kids to play and explore.
    My son loves going to school every day, and he never complains. I have seen my son grow from a shy kid at the age of three to a confident five-year-old with strong educational and social skills. His love for learning has been cultivated here. Every time he learns something new, he gets excited to come home and share it with us, be it sign language or telling time.
    His love for reading books and writing stories all started here.

  • Donald K.

    Our granddaughter and grandson both attend CCM and we are so pleased and impressed with the teachers, administrative staff and facilities. The school has everything for the children both from a learning perspective and overall socialization. It’s so rewarding to see how much our grandchildren have grown to enjoy discovering new ideas as well as making friends. It’s also very reassuring to know how much CCM cares for the children and includes the entire family in activities and special events on a regular basis. CCM has very high standards and it is reflected in the happy faces of their students, parents and even grandparents!

  • Parent

    All three of my children attended CCM from preschool through kindergarten. By the time they finished, each was fluently reading, able to write full sentences, and not only adding and subtracting, but able to multiply and divide as well. Even better, they are all confident learners, approaching each new academic task with the creativity, patience, and critical thinking skills that grew out of their years at CCM. All three developed cose friendships that still remain, even years after kindergarten graduation. This little school built the solid foundation upon which their educations will continue to grow. I am deeply grateful for the love, talented teaching, and guidance my children have received from CCM for the past 8 years. Cannot recommend highly enough!

  • Katie D.

    I’ve sent all three of my children to CCM for preschool through kindergarten and there are not enough words of praise in the world to describe this school. Each of my children came out of CCM fluently reading; able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide; and write full sentences. We’ve had many of the teachers and they have all been so kind and such excellent instructors. Truly, CCM built the foundation upon which my childrens’ educations stand, and I will be grateful for the rest of my life.

  • Yatzi O.

    CCM has been in my family for almost a decade starting with my nephews and now my own children. It has been the best environment for my kids to develop and grow in. All the teachers are absolutely amazing and truly care about each child. I love all the extra curricular programs like Spanish, music and yoga. They also have a mini barn with goats, donkeys and chickens that my kids get to interact with daily. You can’t go wrong with choosing this school. They have been a top learning institution for a very long time and that speaks volumes! Thank you CCM for all the positive things you have brought into our family!!
