PORTLAND, Ore (May 1, 2018) – Snow may still be on the ground in
parts of the country, but families are already looking ahead to summer. Planning
summer activities for school-age children can be time-consuming and
overwhelming for working families, which is why KinderCare Learning Centers
offers families 12 weeks of awesome summer programs in communities around the
country.
“Although
kids get a summer break, adults definitely don’t!” said Kate Jordan-Downs,
KinderCare’s Director of Education Programs. “Most families want their children
to venture outside to have fun and explore in a safe place while parents are
busy working at home or at the office. It can be stressful navigating the
dizzying array of summer program options in your area. That’s why we designed
our summer programs to provide fun for the entire season, engaging children in
active education that helps prevent summer learning loss – in one location
that’s open during the entire workday.”
KinderCare’s
2018 summer programs include activities children want to do that teach valuable
skills that will help them build confidence and succeed when schools starts in
the fall. Each of the 15 two-week long activities will take place during the
KinderCare Learning Center’s regular operating hours so families can choose the
schedule that works best for them. While the activities at each KinderCare center
will vary, the summer break fun at all centers will include:
·
Junior
Inventors – children will build problem-solving and science skills as they
learn about famous inventors and dream up inventions of their own.
·
Superheroes
Among Us – not all heroes wear capes. In this program little superheroes will
meet the heroes of their community and learn how to be a hero to others.
