Summer

This year our Advisory Board helped us plan an AMAZING SUMMER PROGAM full of FUN activities for your children and with the opportunity to provide service to our community.

Each week we will have a different “CAMP” with a specific theme. During that week we will have guest instructors, field trips, guest speakers and many surprise activities. Our goal is to expose your child to as many activities as possible without a rigid schedule, so that they can enjoy the summer.

Throughout the entire summer we will be having fun in the water!! We will have water activities on site for children under five. Children over five will go to the swimming pool on a daily basis.

Summer camps will apply for each age group. Each teacher will be responsible to design the projects according to the age group they are instructing. YES babies and toddlers participate in all these activities
