Young Learners Program
Due to the unforeseen situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Science & Arts Academy has cancelled all on-site Summer Adventures in Learning programs for the summer 2020 season. We've maintained the information below to provide prospective families with details about our typical program offerings.
Our Young Learners Program is a holistic school readiness experience that combines learning and fun for preschool and kindergarten age children. A thematic, multi-disciplinary curriculum encourages academic, social, emotional, and physical development. Activities are engaging, interactive, and challenging, and they are designed with the differentiated development and educational needs of the child in mind. Examples of previous session themes include insects, plants, outer space, weather, ocean and community safety.
The morning program is focused on enrichment and campers are grouped by age in separate classrooms. The afternoon program is focused on recreation. Campers form a mixed-age group for many of their activities, although there are some opportunities for same-age groupings.
We maintain a 1:10 staff to child ratio and maximum class size of 20. Meet our Young Learner's Teachers »
