Academy News
We ran our annual summer fun camp during the month of June entitled “The 12 Days of Summer”. From “an island adventure” to “insect safari” we were busy exploring and learning with our students. We finished our program with a 4th of July bash complete with lots of water play, a bike parade, hot dogs and watermelon. Much fun was had by all!
In the past we have also had a summer program in July, but with school beginning on August 4th, the academy teachers will be busy preparing for the start of the fall semester in July. For us at the academy it feels like summer just started and now we have to prepare for a new school year. However, I realize that with young children at home and our blistering weather the summer can seem like eternity. Therefore, I have included a couple ideas to keep your children entertained this month. Check them out below.
There are still spaces available for our preschool through kindergarten programs with tuition starting at just $110.00 per month. If you would like more information about our programs or to schedule a tour please call me at 579-1453.
Summer Blessings,

Build
a Rainbow
Put a few drops of washable, nontoxic red paint and several ounces of water in a spray bottle. Make two more bottles using yellow and blue paint. Let your little one squirt the paints on your driveway or sidewalk so they run together and create new colors. How many new colors can she make?
Play
dough
Roll play dough into pea-sized balls, and stack them into a tall tower. Flatten the dough into a round circle, and stick it with toothpicks to make a design (smiley face, heart).
Use scissors to cut the dough into logs or blocks, and build a house or an igloo.
Construction
Paper
Use a hole-punch to make little circles of paper. With glue, outline shapes on a sheet of paper and sprinkle the circles on the shapes.
