Program Offerings
Preschool
Each week, preschoolers embark on an imaginary adventure to an exciting new place! Through hands-on learning, they explore phonics, numbers, science, art, music, and more. Returning students will reinforce key concepts, while new students will be introduced to foundational skills in a fun and engaging way.
Kindergarten Prep
Designed for children entering kindergarten, this program follows the same Adventureland themes as preschool but with a greater emphasis on academic readiness. Students will develop handwriting, early math, and reading skills, ensuring a smooth transition into their school journey.
First Grade Prep/Second grade prep
Our summer kindergarten program is tailored for students entering first or second grade in the fall. Children will reinforce phonics and irregular vowel families while strengthening writing and reading comprehension. Using our engaging Adventureland themes, students enhance their skills, confidence, and independence in a fun-filled environment.
