Summer Camp: Our summer schedules are unique. The Pre-School Room will go to Emricson Park for Team Sports, Playground Fun and Nature Hikes, from 9-12 on M,W & F. We’ll head out to the Woodstock Aquatic Center on Tues & Thurs. 12-3. The Early Pre will enjoy the Park every Tuesday am. See next page for more important info! The rest of the classes will be playing water sports on the playground and spending lots of time outside.

Summer Supplies: It is critical that all children wear appropriate gear for summer! They will need closed shoes, not sandals for their time at school. Hats are really important, as are swim-suits & towels when requested.

Summer Clothing: Please keep it simple! Cotton t-shirts and shorts are the most cool & comfortable for your child. We will have a limited number of House of Children T-shirts available for sale for $12/ea. Mesh Camp Bags are also available @ $15ea. See the front lobby for an example & place your order if you would like to be sure that there will be enough for your child. Note: Each summer camp participant (Pre-School room) will receive two shirts with their camp fee. When you pick out their summer clothes, be sure to pick up a couple of inexpensive spares to keep at school. All children must have 2 complete sets of clothing, and 1 extra pair of shoes.

• Our Teachers are all College Educated Teachers and your child is getting the best preparation possible for entry into Kindergarten.
• By the time they graduate from our program, they will have met all of the State of Illinois Early Learning Standards, or we will have met with you to establish any necessary interventions that may be needed to help your child succeed.
• So let’s wrap up the fun learning and get ready for vacations and a relaxing summer! In September, we will re-start our literacy and academic development themes, which will guide your child through play-based learning throughout the school year!
