Children are accepted into this program upon referral from Child Development Services (a division of the Department of Education).  These children have been identified as having a developmental delay and have an Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) in place.  Special educational guidelines determine the number of hours each student may attend.  This program is in session 8:30am – 12:00pm.

The Summer Camp Program runs for 8 weeks, starting in late June through August.  It is less structured and allows for lots of outside time, water play, and field trips.  There is a weekly theme, such as “Dinosaurs” or “Ocean”, with appropriate songs and activities  to reinforce the theme. Details of the program and a list of theme weeks are available in mid-March.  The hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Tuition is the same as during the school year.  The 8-week summer program is divided into two 4-week sessions with tuition for each session due by the end of the first week of that particular session. Parents do, however, have the option of paying weekly with tuition being due each Monday.  We also offer the option of signing up for certain weeks throughout the summer if a parent does not want to send their child for the entire 8-week summer program or even an entire 4-week session.
