Children at Dearborn Heights Montessori Center’s Summer Camp enjoyed a special visit from Red Gate Petting Farm. This is one of the weekly in-house field trips held during the nine week summer camp program for children between the ages of three and 12. The educational and culturally rich summer program is held each summer at the school’s campus located at 466 N. John Daly in Dearborn Heights.
