Summer Information

About Summer Care

We offer childcare for preschool through 5th grade, Monday–Friday, from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. during the summer months.

• In the mornings and late afternoons, children have the opportunity to be in age-mixed groups. During the main part of the day, students are separated into age-appropriate rooms.
  • In their age groups, children stay engaged through weekly-themed activities that include games, crafts, STEM activities, and special guests.
  • We work learning into our everyday activities so children don’t feel like they’re in school while still learning through play all summer long.
  • Social-emotional development is also a key focus throughout the summer.
• We take several field trips throughout the summer, organized by age group and at an additional cost.
• Children in kindergarten through 5th grade will have opportunities to use the swimming pool throughout the summer.
• During the summer, we participate in the Summer Food Program when available, allowing children to receive free lunch while the program is running.
• Breakfast is offered daily from 7:30–8:00 a.m., and an afternoon snack is also provided.
• Summer Recreation: We offer an excellent opportunity for families!
  • If your child is registered for a Summer Recreation activity or on-site class during the summer, our staff can walk them to and from the activity at no additional cost. This allows your child to take advantage of all the fun summer offerings while you’re at work.
