Summer fun for School Agers

Our summer program is off to a great start.  It is important that children have the opportunity to spend time with peers doing activities that keep them both physically active and mentally engaged.  Making sure that children have a balance of activities is important to us.  This summer we dropped our child care staff ratio down to a 13 children per adult in the morning hours so that we can focus on age appropriate activities.  The children get to take part in two field trips a week, one afternoon they go swimming with their group, and another time they go to another field trip destination within the surrounding counties.  The children also participate in activities including arts and crafts, science experiments, games and activities, reader's theater/talent show, and special community guests.  The education professionals this summer are making sure that the children have a fabulous summer.
