PRE-SCHOOL AGE PROGRAM

Room #1 - Four/Five Year Olds

Room #5 - Three/Four Year Olds

Our summer program blends fun, adventure, creativity and learning. SELC is a place for children to learn, grow, and thrive in positive and unique ways that will change their young lives forever. The Summer program focuses on science and nature, arts and crafts, literature and language, music and movement, sports and games, and so much more! Research shows that children experience the deepest, most genuine learning when they are having fun! We strive to ensure that children become confident learners by concentrating our focus on meeting the needs of each individual child. We have designed our programs to provide a wonderful experience for all children.

Splash and Wheels Day

S.E.L.C. has planned a splashing good time of weekly water days. Your child’s day will be sprinkled with fun water activities such as water balloon tosses, spray bottle tag, shaving cream creations, spray art, and bubble contests. One of our playgrounds will be transformed into our very own water park, overflowing with pools, slides, and sprinklers. Water has never been so much fun! We will also be scheduling weekly/bi-weekly Wheels Days when children can bring in their bikes (with or without training wheels), skateboards, roller skates, scooters, and most importantly their helmets and other protective gear. Your child will not be able to ride without such necessities! However, if your child does not wish to participate in Wheels Day, there will be other fun activities in store for them.

We will wear many hats this summer as we work together to explore our senses, STEM, literacy, and the arts. First up, get your astronaut helmets on as we explore outer space! We will make fizzy moons and marbled planets. Rockets will be created and moon sand will be squished. We will work on gross motor skills as we toss asteroids and uncover letters in meteors.
Next up, dust off your farmer’s hat as we head down to the farm. We will paint muddy pigs and use feathers to make chicks. Dramatic play will be transformed into a Farmers’ Market. We will use vegetables to stamp and churn our own butter! Corn will be used for sensory play and science experiments!
Hang up your hat and grab your scuba gear as we dive under the sea! We will make soapy sea foam and squishy beach sensory bags! We will paint on shells and create other sea creatures with a variety of art materials. The children will be challenged to create lego sharks and other sea life!
Dry off your scuba gear and put on your bucket hat on so we can go camping! We will tell campfire stories, read with flashlights, and create mini tents. We will have s’more fun as we paint with marshmallows and make a trail mix! The adventure continues as we go on nature walks and bear hunts!
To wrap up the summer, we will take a step back into pre-historic times. Put on your paleontologist uniform (or best dinosaur t-shirt) and get ready to dig! We will excavate dinosaurs in dirt and ice. We will paint pictures of dinosaurs and paint WITH dinosaurs. Our feet will turn green (pretend of course) as we stomp like dinosaurs. We will exercise our brains by configuring dinosaurs out of Magnatiles and creating real exploding volcanoes!

This summer, we invite your little explorer to dive into the wonders of the rainforest! Our Preschool Rainforest Theme is designed to spark curiosity and creativity through immersive activities that bring the lush, vibrant ecosystem to life. From tropical animals to towering trees, children will embark on a learning journey filled with fun, interactive experiences that promote growth in both their social and cognitive skills. With hands-on crafts, music, and sensory play, each day will feel like an exciting adventure in the heart of the rainforest.
Throughout the summer, children will discover the rich diversity of the rainforest. They’ll learn about the various plants, animals, and unique ecosystems that make this environment so special. Through storytelling, role-playing, and nature walks, they will develop a love for nature while expanding their vocabulary and critical thinking skills. Activities like ”rainforest animal bingo,” “jungle obstacle courses,” and “planting their own rainforest garden” will help bring the classroom to life with the sights and sounds of the tropical world.
Our experienced and caring staff will guide your child through this exciting theme, ensuring each day is filled with wonder, laughter, and learning. Whether it’s creating a rainforest diorama, dancing like a jungle animal, or listening to rainforest sounds, your child will be immersed in a safe, nurturing environment where their creativity can flourish. We are ready for a walk on the wild side in Preschool this summer and we can’t wait for you to join us!

Our program also incorporates STEAM, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. STEAM education programs aim to teach students to think critically and have an engineering and design approach towards real-world problems while building on their mathematics and science base. STEAM programs add art to STEM curriculum by drawing on design principles and encouraging creative solutions.
