SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM
All children should be happy and have an enjoyable summer! That is why we
have developed a program that incorporates fun activities for the summer
based around themes that are unusual and different.
We explore different cultures and topics while including appropriate social,
behavioral and educational goals for the children enrolled in the program.
Some of our themes for this summer are;
Camping in the Great Outdoors
Pets: The Animals we love
Travels around the world: Mexico, Asia, Africa, Middle East, Europe
Secrets of the Dirt: Fossils and Dinosaurs
Educationally we will embed academics such as math, geography, fine motor
and group games.
Behaviorally, we will focus on working together, team building activities and developing good social skills.
All children will participate in a social skills development program during the
camp day. For children with social delays, parents may request a social skills
assessment. The child will then be placed in a ten week program which allows
progress to be monitored on an individualized basis.
Children with developmental delays may require different activities and we
have planned for that as well. The alternative activities remain on the topic
for the week and are designed to teach the appropriate goal.
To enroll for the program, or for more information call Premier Collaborations Child Development Center at 256-464-8405 begin of the skype highlighting 256-464-8405
