PRE-K PROGRAM DAILY DETAILS

—————Calling all 3 to 5-year-olds! Are you fully potty trained? Do you want to have fun in the sun this summer? Are you interested in storybooks and things that crawl? Do you want to do it all? Join our expert teachers on a wild adventure throughout the summer at Columbus Academy’s Pre-K Summer Experience.

The Pre-K program activities are based on weekly themes. Special guests, arts and crafts, science, games, outdoor education, creative movement, and story time are used to express those themes. Children are encouraged to discover and develop their academic, creative, and social skills at their own pace. Opportunities for active and experiential learning are offered each day through child-initiated and teacher-directed activities in order to assist children in their intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development. We are committed to creating an enriching environment where children are in the continuous process of development based on their individual ability, readiness, and interest. Our emphasis is on play and having fun.

A Pre-K camper’s day starts at 8:30 am and programming lasts until 11:30 am, which completes the Half Day option of Pre-K. Should you choose to stay for Half +Plus, you will continue on to lunch and themed activities until 1:30 pm. Should you choose to stay for Full Day, you will continue on to lunch, rest time, and additional Pre-K programming until 4:00 pm. If needed, Before Care is available from 7:00 am to 8:30 am and After Care is available from 4:00-6:00 pm. Campers have the choice of joining us for two, three, or five-day weekly sessions. Your child’s experience will focus on the importance of self-confidence and play in a child’s life. The activities reflect this each day as your child joins in the fun of cooperative play with others in an environment that promotes a confident and positive attitude.

Snacks are provided each morning and afternoon. The dress is casual: a t-shirt, shorts, and tennis shoes are recommended. Swimming suits are needed for sprinkler days. Please check the Pre-K newsletter and signage on the Pre-K doors to know when sprinkler day will be each week of camp as it can vary based on weather conditions. Please send an extra outfit in a resealable bag with each camper on the first day of camp.

EXPLORE WITH ME: CAREGIVER & BABYAges birth to 5 years

Welcome to our Explore with Me (EWM) division at Columbus Academy Summer Experience. This program is designed to give caregivers and babies a place to bond and explore, while offering a low stress environment in which babies can learn and grow individually and socially. Caregivers will also have the opportunity to network and learn many new and exciting activities to do with those in their care. In addition to a lead instructor, there will be a program coordinator present in all classes to assist the caregivers and babies at any point.

EWM classes are offered from 10:30-11:30am, Tuesday through Saturday on Columbus Academy’s campus in Gahanna. The campus is accessed from the West on Cherry Bottom Road or from the East via Beecher Road off of Hamilton Road. (Please refer to the campus map on the inside of the back cover.) All Explore With Me programs are best accessed by parking in the Family Division parking area in the Academy Hall Parking Circle. Follow the ORANGE signage into the Theatre entrance and into the Explore With Me room.

All EWM classes follow a consistent, yet free-flowing schedule. We understand the babies’ individual needs will vary and therefore, our class schedule is designed to be flexible and adaptable in order to cater to the needs of our families. The first 15 minutes of the hour is designed to allow caregivers and babies to get acclimated to the classroom environment while socializing with others in the class. The program coordinator will also have manipulatives available as an option during this time. Once everyone is settled in and all of the babies’ needs are met, the instructor will lead the themed portion of class, which typically lasts between 25-30 minutes. During the remaining 15 minutes of class, the EWM stations will be open for free play time guided by the program coordinator. Caregivers and babies will be encouraged to interact with each station before ending the class. Stations include, but are not limited to: a soft shape obstacle course, Nessie soft creatures, crawl tunnels, indestructible books, baby musical instruments, soft blocks, tactile balls, and so much more!

One registration accommodates one child and one caregiver. EWM is also intended to be an inclusive “all-in-the-family” experience. If there is more than one caregiver or an older sibling not within the age range of the class, they are also welcome to attend as a guest at no additional charge. Each

class has a full 8-week course fee; however, we understand that many families have varying schedules over the summer. For this reason, if you would need to attend fewer than 8 weeks of programming, please contact the Summer Experience office to discuss options available. Please note: Thursday classes will run for 7 weeks as there is no class on Thursday, July 4th.

All classes have a suggested age range based on the appropriateness of the activities covered. Please remember our classes are flexible, and we understand that every child develops at his or her own rate. If you register for a class that does not seem developmentally appropriate for your child, we will be happy to work with you to find an alternative option that is a better fit.—————What are the benefits of programming for very young children?

Connections! Not only with the world around them, but between the child and those that care for them the most. In a world where technology is so important and our attention is being pulled in so many directions, we need to make conscious efforts to connect. These programs offer support in a variety of ways:

• Programming that is age appropriate and flexible• Connecting to the community• Providing a baby safe environment to explore and discover• Giving parents and caregivers a venue to network, connect and share

Sensory Sensitive Friendly Classes

This summer, we are continuing to feature programs that will provide parents with options for their children that may have special sensory needs. We have made strong efforts to educate all of our teachers on the needs of the sensory sensitive child. We strive to make sure our environment supports these needs by being conscious of bright lights and noise levels, providing space for necessary breaks, as well as providing a variety of sensory activities for discovery when the child is ready. These enhancements benefit all children, but are essential to those with sensory needs. All classes will have these options, but there are a few that are specifically designed to support children with additional needs. These classes are identified with a .

Music Together is an active approach to teaching music to babies and toddlers. By emphasizing actual music experiences rather than concepts about music, this class introduces children to the pleasures of making music instead of passively receiving it from CDs or TV. Central to the Music Together approach is the idea that young children learn best from meaningful adult role models in their lives. This program brings families together by providing a rich musical environment in the classroom. It also encourages family participation in spontaneous musical activity at home within the context of daily life. Come prepared to make noise, use shakers, and sing! A songbook, CD, and digital download of all music used are included in the class fee. This class offers a multiple-child discount; please contact our office for details: (614) 509-2267.
