Richard Louv at the Top Coast Forum

After a successful and happy summer session in June it was so inspiring to listen to this broadcast on MPR. We at MCH have long been followers of Louv's wisdom. In fact, his book "Last Child in the Woods" was a guiding influence in our development eight years ago. Our school grounds and natural playground are an endless source of joy and well-being to all of us at Montessori Children's House--young and old. May it ever be so.
Here is the MPR audio cast from the Top Coast Forum at the University of Minnesota on May 31, 2014.

The Joy of Summer

How glorious it is to be in our outdoor classroom finally!
The summer program has burst into full bloom with so many friends coming each day to enjoy the lovely environment outside at MCH. We couldn't ask for a better place to spend time with each other and revel in all the fun of a summer day.
