You will find 2010 summer and fall registration forms in the "Forms" section of this website. Note to new families, our summer program is open to new students beginning July 6.

Parents join your child and the classroom teachers for a look at the activities and works your child enjoys here at school. Children are proud of the work they do and they love to share it with family members. Your child will have lots of works to show you. Grandparents are welcome, too.

• Do you wonder what makes an activity a “Montessori work?”
• How do we actually “follow the child” in a prepared environment?
• We invite the children to bring a parent to school so they can show their skills and “give lessons.”

We have three very talented parents with a strong interest in delicious food joining together to make a lasting tribute to family, food and community. Please send in your recipes to share with all.

Kristin Camplese (Max's mom), Angela Tzilkowski (Luke's mom), Katie O'Hara-Krebs (Ava's mom), and Beth Bailey (Reed's mom) are kicking off the creation of the OCC community cookbook. This will serve as a community-builder as well as fundraiser. This as an opportunity to bring our families together to share delicious foods for the common good. Please see the details below for more information.

• On Tuesday, Dec. 15 from 7 p.m. - 8 p.m. we will gather for our special Winter Cultural Celebration.

• This special time allows families to share a traditional sweet or savory finger food with other families. Please include your name as well as the name of the food you brought to share. People enjoy knowing who made the delicious foods. December is time to celebrate in many cultures so bring a little taste of your home to OCC on this night.

Our Children's Center is closed on Wed. Dec. 9 due to inclement weather.
