Activities and Programming

Our curriculum is built on a variety of exciting activities. The kids explore our community and our world through a range of different windows, including art, science, crafts, technology, literacy, sports and physical activity, music, drama, cooking, math, community service, games, cultural events, and outdoor activities. Weekly field trips enhance curricular activities and provide a fun learning experience. While it is summer, we feel it is important to continue the learning that our children experience throughout the school. Weekly hands-on projects focus on reading, math, science, and other topics to help reinforce academics in fun ways.

Staff

Our staff is comprised of experienced, reliable creative and caring individuals. Several of our teachers and assistants are pursuing degrees in education in addition to training received during ongoing staff development. The entire staff is dedicated to the safety and well being of our children, and to helping every child have fun. Program structure and activities offer an opportunity for children to grow socially, emotionally and physically with the support and encouragement of our staff.

Sample Daily Schedule

*Our daily schedule also includes field trips and swimming lessons as part of our normal routine.*
