Preschool & Kindergarten
Half-Day Program: 9:00am - 12:00pm
Overview
Summer Adventures in Learning's Young Learners Program is a holistic school readiness experience that combines learning and fun for children preparing for the upcoming school year in their preschool or kindergarten classroom. Each two-week session is built around a thematic, multi-disciplinary curriculum (e.g. math, reading, science, art, etc.) that 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.
Eligibility
The half day Preschool classroom is open to all children who are at least 3 years old by the first day of the session.
The half day Kindergarten classroom is open to all children who are at least 5 years old by the first day of the session or who are entering Kindergarten in Fall 2023.
Children do not need to be gifted to enroll as all ability levels are welcome. All campers must be completely toilet trained.
