Summer Program:
Field trips are a large part of our program. We typically go on 3 each week. The field trips are based on the interests of the children. We also visit the library each week and participate in the Summer Reading Program. Children are active and encouraged to explore. We are outside every day, weather permitting. All meals are included in the program, even on field trips. See the Nutrition secton of this website for more about the food in our program.
Maintaining what was learned in school the previous year is also an important component of this program. Games and activities are planned that align with Michigan's Grade Level Content Expectations, this will not be "Work." It will be active and engaging games and activities!
While remembering what you already know is important, so is learning something new and interesting. Children are met at their unique stage of development and encouraged to go further. To tackle new challenges and explore a topic that is interesting to them. Children are encouraged to write every day. This may be in a daily journal or various original works. Math is incorporated into daily activities such as using "money" to purchase your food.
