A step up from our Themed Enrichment Weeks, these weeks are designed to enhance learning by focusing on a more specific topic through the lens of two or three clear subjects.

See our offerings on Pages 3. FULL DAY (8:30 am-3:30 pm): $450/week
3rd-5th Grade Specialty Programs Appealing to our more senior students, these weeks will have a clear focus in either STEM or the Fine Arts.

PRESCHOOL-GRADE 5
THEMED ENRICHMENT WEEKS
Offering varied experiences each day, these weeks are all about getting a little bit of everything. Students are broken into groups by age prior to their arrival and assigned a Group Leader that will be their guide through the week’s adventures. Each day has them traveling from class to class learning more about that week’s theme through geography lessons, storytelling games, science experiments, and a variety of other activities. There is also plenty of student guided free play both inside and outside with our array of water toys. With Half-Day and Full-Day options, families can decide how much students would like to experience each week. Whether this your first time here with us or are returning year after year, this summer promises to offer a unique and engaging experience. All weeks are $275/week for half-day attendance or $375/week for full-day attendance. Students REQUIRED to be fully potty-trained by the start of their first week.
