A Note From Our Principal
For the past few months our teachers have been busy planning special activities to make this summer fun and memorable. This month marks the beginning of our Connect to Summer curriculum enhancement camp for our preschoolers, and our Summer of Discovery full-time camp program for our school-agers. These programs feature activities that support learning outcomes aligning with your child’s developmental level. Please keep an eye out for special communications about activities and events, and about how you can support your child’s learning at home. As always, we are here with any questions or concerns you may have. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us!
Sincerely,
Carol

Summer Cubby Clean-ups
Our students love spending time outdoors and we want to make sure we take ample advantage of the summer weather before it gets too hot. Please make sure your child has an appropriate change of clothes in their cubby at all times. If your child is in Beginner classroom and up, please make sure to send in a water bottle with your child’s name on it each day. In addition, sunscreen should be applied at home for the morning. Please fill out a form and return it to your child’s teacher with any sunscreen that you bring to school.
Splash Days
We have several water play days planned for our students this summer and can’t wait for your child to participate! On splash days we provide small wading pools, sprinklers and water toys. Children should come to school in their swimsuit (with swim diaper where applicable) and with a towel and a change of dry clothes. On splash day, please apply sunscreen to your child before you drop them off. Our currently scheduled splash days for Beginners, Intermediates, Pre-K and School Agers are each Wednesday from June 26th – August 7th.
Our Toddlers will have splash days on the following dates.
- June 26

Summer Kick Off
Please join us on Friday, June 21st from 5 – 7 pm for our Summer Kick Off. We will have a food truck, games and Kona Ice. All are welcome, so bring a friend!
Summer of Discovery Camp Update
We officially kick off our school-age camp on Monday, June 17th and could not be more excited to spend the summer with our campers! Each school-age parent should have received a copy of our summer calendar listing all field trips and approximate departure and arrival times. Changes will be communicated through Links 2 Home.
On field trip days, campers should arrive at school with sunscreen already applied. Campers should have a reusable water bottle at camp each day. Closed toed, comfortable shoes are required for all field trips except those involving water.
