Talkin' Toddlers is a structured program designed to prepare toddlers for preschool.  This is a parent-participation program in which parents are given opportunities to practice separation, if they wish. Emphasis is placed on the development of skills necessary for preschool, such as social skills, play skills, following directions in a group dynamic, and preschool vocabulary.  Each class will focus on a theme through age-appropriate activities for playtime, circle-time (songs, books, etc), snack time, and art.

**For 2022, any parents/caregivers who will be participating in class must be able to show proof of full COVID-19 vaccination.  

Ages: 4-8

Retro Kids is a celebration of all the active and interactive play enjoyed by the kids of generations past!  We'll play group games like London Bridges and Red Rover, have races, play old-fashioned board games, have a daytime camp out with a nature scavenger hunt, make our own playdoh, and read and act out stories more often told to past generations to find out what they have to teach us about friendship.  AND, we'll end our week of retro fun with our own Bike Rodeo!!  Of course our Retro Kids camp schedule will include a lot of outdoor play time!  Snack will be provided, but students are asked to bring their own lunches.

Ages: for students entering Kindergarten in the Fall

The Kindergarten Readiness Academy is designed to help prepare children for the transition to kindergarten. We practice the skills that are most critical to early school success with a classroom routine very similar to the kindergarten classroom routine to help make the transition easier. Teacher expectations for classroom behavior and independence are practiced, along with critical skills in the areas of fine-motor, letter recognition, phonics, and number recognition. Children also participate in daily social skills lessons designed to help them make new friends in kindergarten. Students are asked to bring their own lunch and a small snack.

Have you ever wanted to introduce your child to a 2nd language?  Research has shown that exposure to a 2nd language improves auditory skills, flexibility of thought, and even English vocabulary.  AND, exposure at a young age is very important in the acquisition of a near-native accent.  This Spanish camp program has been designed to introduce children to Spanish through games, activities, songs, stories, and art projects.
The camp schedule will also include some indoor and outdoor free-play time and snack will be provided. Students are asked to bring their own lunch.
