Why Summer Preschool Matters for Young Children

Summer break does not mean learning should stop. In fact, young children learn best through consistent, playful experiences. As a result, a structured summer program supports steady growth.

Many parents worry about the “summer slide.” This term describes the learning loss that can happen over long breaks. However, a good program keeps skills sharp and curiosity alive.

Keeping Skills Sharp Through Play

Children build language, math, and social skills through everyday play. For example, sorting toys teaches early math concepts. Moreover, group games strengthen sharing and teamwork.

Our teachers weave learning into every activity. Therefore, children barely notice they are practicing new skills. Instead, they simply enjoy the fun.

Infant Curriculum

Our daily infant curriculum is broken up into four categories of development:

01
Physical Experience
To assure our infants reach their appropriate physical development milestones, we employ our Physical Experiences curriculum. Physical Experiences utilizes motor activities that focus on both large and small muscle development.
02
Listening and Talking Experience
Before the age of one, infants are learning to understand the things that we are saying. For this reason, we provide a Listening and Talking Experience, which includes reading books, singing songs, and talking about the surroundings to aid in their communication development.
03
Creative Experience
Creative Experience allows infants to explore the many beauties that arts and crafts expose our minds to. The process of ‘art with infants’ enables our children to explore and experiment with different smells, textures, and artistic tools as a means of facilitating an early understanding of creative thought and design.
04
Learning From the World
Learning from the World introduces the infant to the world around us, allowing us to aid in their sensory development within a free, yet controlled environment. Examples of these activities can be found in the weekly sample schedule included below.
