A Literary Jaunt Around the World Children love stories. They have stories of their own to tell and learn so much by hearing them. This 2-week camp will take them to different continents to learn about cultures through the stories that they tell. We will celebrate stories by encouraging children to create and dramatize their own. Children will have their stories transcribed as well as act them out.

Kindergarten Bootcamp Ready for Kindergarten? Kindergarten is a brand new world for graduating preschoolers. There is much to maneuver - a new facility, new friends and a new schedule. Make sure that they know their letters and numbers by sending them to our Kinder Bootcamp just before the new school year begins. Students will review phonetics, phonetic spelling, high frequency words, listening and following directions, number recognition and number sense. Soccer Tots S.F. Tots
