Programs

This program is designed to help children explore their own ideas at the same time they are gaining new skills. “Summer Nursery” will include numerous physical activities to encourage large muscle development in the playground. In art, a variety of media will be used and music and movement games are offered to develop coordination and rhythm. Stories, word games and creative drama offer opportunities for verbal expression. Through directed play in the program, the child develops socially. Academics from the school year are reinforced and continued through play and games. There will be many outdoor activities including sprinkler parties and picnics in our newly renovated playground and sprinkler park.

Child must have completed at least one school year of separation at least 2 days a week to enroll in summer Pre-K 3's.
