Everything LOL, there is so much joy! We have so many "Specials Classes" as the kids call them (art, cooking classes, basketball, old school games, waterplay, yoga, chess, Legos, Social Emotional lessons to support children from the inside out, music, community building, communal art projects, pottery, dance, volleyball, ultimate frisbee, soccer, ping pong, jewelry making, kid-friendly escape rooms, all kinds of challenges where the goal is self-improvement, STEM classes, knitting, hiking, plenty of popsicles, etc.) Then there are performers who bring things like reptiles, farm animals, foam parties, snow cones, DJ's, etc. The children enjoy plenty of outdoor time and this year, we are bringing back field trips (mostly on private buses if it is safe enough), and the list goes on.

Our caring team of professionals who work strategically to manage our camp days, afterschool programs, and before School programs all year care for your children in summer, too. It really supports a seamless transition and allows children who have been with us to see familiar faces. Children who are joining our program for the first time, or those who may need extra support through the "newness" or with making friends, will be met with so much love and care by folks who know exactly how to support children. If it's a rough start for your child, we have a toolkit of ideas ready to go that includes their most important resource: You. We also always have our Site Administrators on each shift to make sure there is adequate leadership, communication, and, of course, there must be someone to bring out the Polite Piggy's puppet! Our team members must undergo the DCPS Background Clearance process, and we provide professional development as well.
