Questions families ask about summer camp
What ages can attend summer camp?
Camp is organized around the same age groupings as the school year, so toddlers, primary aged children, and kindergarten and early elementary children each have activities suited to them. The youngest groups follow a routine close to their regular day. Check with the office about your child’s exact age and the current summer groupings.
Can children who do not attend Amici during the year come to camp?
Yes. Camp is open to families who are new to the school, and space permitting it is a low pressure way to see whether the environment suits your child. You still complete enrollment and health paperwork before the first day. Many families treat camp as a trial run before applying for the school year.
Are there weekly themes?
Camp is built around weekly themes, so each week has its own focus with related projects, art, cooking, outdoor play, and hands-on exploration. If your child attends several weeks they get variety instead of repetition. The theme list for the coming summer is published ahead of sign-ups, so ask the office when it is released.
Can we do half days instead of full days?
Scheduling options depend on the age group and on how full a given week is. Younger children sometimes do better with a shorter day at first. Tell the office what you need and they will confirm what is offered this summer, including whether care up to the 6:00pm close is available for your weeks.
What should my child bring to camp?
Phoenix summers mean water first. Send a labeled water bottle, a hat, closed toe shoes, sunscreen applied before drop-off, and a full change of clothes. Anything a particular week needs is listed in advance. The office sends a packing list before camp starts, so you are not guessing from one week to the next.
Do campers still get Mandarin and Spanish?
Yes. The same native speaking teachers are present during camp, so children keep hearing all three languages through games, songs, cooking, and outdoor activities. Summer is often when language feels easiest, because it shows up in play rather than in lessons. A child new to Amici usually picks up more than you expect.
When should we sign up for summer camp?
Sign up in the spring. Popular weeks fill first, and families already enrolled during the school year often reserve their weeks early. If you are new to Amici, contact the office as soon as the summer schedule is posted so you can choose weeks that fit around your family’s travel plans.
Can we register for only certain weeks?
Most families do. Camp is generally arranged week by week, which lets you work around vacations and other summer plans. Availability is also week by week, so the weeks you want can fill even while others stay open. Confirm the current registration rules and any minimum with the office before you plan the summer.
Questions families ask about Amici near Ahwatukee
What’s the minimum age for enrolling in Montessori education?
Amici welcomes children beginning in infancy, with Montessori environments designed for each developmental stage from infant care through the elementary years currently offered by the school.
How is Montessori education different from other educational approaches?
Montessori is child-centered and hands-on. Instead of every child moving through the same worksheet or lesson at the same time, children work with carefully prepared materials, build independence, and progress at a pace that fits their development.
What is the teacher-student ratio at Amici’s preschools in Ahwatukee?
Ratios vary by classroom level and age group, with smaller ratios for infants and toddlers. Amici follows appropriate early-childhood guidelines and can confirm the current classroom ratio during a tour or enrollment conversation.
What are the benefits of Montessori daycare for my child?
Montessori daycare gives children full-day care with more than supervision: practical life skills, hands-on learning, independence, social development, concentration, language exposure, and confidence for future school success.
How do you support children with special needs?
Amici welcomes conversations with families about each child’s needs. The team works with parents to understand goals, routines, accommodations, and whether the classroom environment is the right fit for the child.

Amici serves young children from infancy through the elementary years currently offered by the school, with Montessori learning and daily Mandarin, Spanish, and English exposure.

Does Amici offer full-day care?
Yes. Amici offers school-day and extended-day options designed for working families who want more than a traditional daycare.
How does Montessori help with kindergarten readiness?
Montessori helps children build independence, concentration, early literacy, math foundations, practical life skills, confidence, and social-emotional readiness.

Yes. Early childhood is a strong window for language acquisition, and Amici uses daily immersion to help children naturally absorb Mandarin, Spanish, and English.
