Preschool Summer Camps

Preschool Summer Day Camp 2024


The summer preschool camp curriculum is designed to introduce our students to a variety of new themes not covered during the school year. We will continue to reinforce concepts, skills and routines from our traditional preschool setting. During each session we provide students with hands on learning to promote both an enjoyable and stimulating atmosphere focused on discover. This is the time for our students to get messy, be silly, and truly have a “summer camp” experience. Teachers will provide families with information about the proper attire to be worn on our specific days. These specialized activities transpire both inside and outside of the preschool classroom.

All students must be fully toilet-trained and able to tend to their own bathroom needs.
No pull-ups or diapers are allowed.
