Summer 2010 Calendar
School-Age Summer Program
|
Summer is for fun and learning should be fun! Throughout the
summer we embark on a variety of field trips to spark your
child’s interest in new topics. In addition to field trips,
special presenters visit our facility for demonstrations and
hands-on activities. Visitors may include educators from the
Boohshoft Children’s Museum, exotic animal handlers, and members
of local police and fire departments. Our School Age summer
program is for children who have already completed Kindergarten
through grade 5.

Nurture
Growth
Our
teachers prepare special activities for your child that offers several
choices of open-ended activities to encourage creativity and expand on
cooperative skills. Activities generally expand on the weeks field trips
to encourage the exploration of new topics.
Challenge Minds
Throughout the summer, the children keep a journal to document their
trips and special activities. We also work on grade specific math and
reading to keep the subjects fresh for the next school year.
Enrich Lives
Our goal in this classroom is to help each child reach their own highest
potential by providing opportunities and activities that help the
children foster a love for learning.
Our School
Age summer curriculum is aligned with Ohio’s K-12 Standards.
