We offer before and after school care as well as full day care on school holidays and during the summer months. The prime focus here is interactive, interdisciplinary instruction, revolving around the arts, recreation, and making connections to school curriculum. The children are offered both structured (teacher directed) and unstructured (child directed) choices of activities. These include games, crafts, sports, cooking, music, and more. School‑agers are in the process of learning how they fit into the larger world. Rules and social opinions (peer pressure) are very important to them. Through artistic expression, enrichment activities, playing games and participating in sports, the children have the chance to practice and develop decision‑making skills, teamwork, a sense of fair play, and how language can be used to communicate ideas and feelings.
Campus Kids Summer Program offers weekly themed summer camps for ages 6-12. Each week includes gym, field trips, games, computer lab time, outdoor activities, as well as time to read, do puzzles, and art projects. Camp fees include all meals, field trips, activities, and a camp t-shirt. Program leaders believe just because children need care over the summer, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have a memorable summer vacation!
