Spanish ‘Round the World May 20–24, 9:30–11:30 a.m. ($140 for 5 days) For children 42+ months as of May 21, 2013, but not yet in kindergarten Señora McCartney’s preschool Spanish series is the perfect way to kick off your child’s summer adventures. Every day in class we’ll “travel” to a different Spanish-speaking country to discover its foods, culture, dance, crafts, animals, and most of all, language. We’ll sing songs in Spanish, dance, play games, and make crafts—building children’s Spanish vocabulary along the way. Each day there will be a special snack, including some ethnic treats made during class.
Summer BLOCK Time Do you need options for your 16-month to 5-year-old child? Summer BLOCK Time will be offered Monday–Friday, 9:15– 11:45 a.m. and Monday–Thursday, noon–2:30 p.m. Dates are May 28–June 28, 2013. Cost is $100 for mornings or afternoons.
Wonderful Wednesdays 9 a.m.–Noon, May 29–June 26, 2013 ($165 for 5 Wednesdays) For children 42+ months as of May 28, 2013, but not yet in kindergarten. Princesses Rock! A real princess is capable, creative, and playful. So what do little princesses love to do? They dress up, design their jewelry and crowns, dance, create and dramatize princess stories, and practice good manners at tea parties. Of course, they also love to run, climb, jump rope, pedal bikes, and play games. Be a princess. It’s a blast! Pirate Ships and Spaceships Children will travel from the age of pirates to the space age. For three weeks they will play and learn on board the “pirate ship”— enjoying pirate stories, games, toys, snacks, music, art projects, and more. During the fourth and fifth weeks, they’ll travel through outer space on an imaginary spaceship, learn about rockets and space suits, and build spaceships. Monstermania Monsters are cute and cuddly. But what do they do at summer camp? They read and write silly stories about themselves, eat monster snacks, create works of monster art, play Monster Tag, and even sing monster anthems. Since they’re frequently mistaken for little kids, your child will fit right in at Monster Camp.
