The Summer Program will begin on Monday, July 8th for all Toddler & Preschool classrooms (does not include Infant Room.)
Activities will be structured around summer themes and will focus on children playing and have fun. Some academic lessons will continue for Preschool programs so that children do not backtrack before entering their new classrooms in the Fall. We will not post Weekly Activities, but our Thematic Activity Calendars will still be available every month. A few details about the program
An Activity Fee of $35 for a single child, $60 for siblings is due by Monday, July 1st and goes towards supplies, special events, and performances This fee does not apply to the Infant Room or the Graduating & Returning Grasshoppers who have already registered.
Our "In-House Field Trips" are scheduled on most Fridays. Parents are welcome to attend these events, please look for these in the Monthly Calendars and let us know if you would like to come.
There will be no Show & Tell for the Summer.
