Summer school (Ms. Foy)
The long summer vacation has begun! Great news for the children, not too much fun for parents who still have to go to work, and now have the added chore of finding ways to amuse the children. Wouldn’t it be great if parents could just take the whole summer off and stay home with the children? Alas, that is just wishful thinking! This is where Arborland comes to the rescue. We have a superb summer program that combines learning with enjoyable activities and field trips. Parents can safely leave the children with us, in the same safe environment they are accustomed to, and go to work knowing the children will not miss out on any of the summer fun. Learning activities are skillfully blended with the fun summer activities of swimming and field trips. The children are occupied in academic activities in the morning session, and this is not just busy work, there are special units of math and language arts tailored to each child’s age and need. The afternoons are devoted to different themes, the children get to learn in greater detail and expand on units for which there may not be sufficient time in the regular school year. Another great advantage of our summer program is that the teacher already knows the child very well and is able to give remedial help, in any area, if she feels that the child needs it. The group being much smaller, the child gets the benefit of very personalized attention. Those children who don’t need this type of attention are led to do more advanced work, again personalized for each child. The end result is that the children all return for the new school year more confident and happy. This is more desirable than children who have spent all summer in front of the television or playing computer games. Children are creatures of habit and they need the structure that summer school offers. We give them that structure, in a safe, loving and fun filled environment.
