Kids’ Corner Summer Program Grades K-5 (completed)

Kids’ Corner offers multiple exciting programs during the summer, including our regular Kids’ Corner Summer Program (grades K-5) and KC Xtreme for Middle School students (completed grades 6-8).

Kids’ Corner’s Summer Program upholds the same safe, engaging, caring and values-driven environment, coupled with a fun-loving, learning-filled atmosphere that has been central to the Kids’ Corner Out-of-School Time Program for over 30 years.

Our Summer Program is overseen by our Assistant Director/Summer Program Director, Mike Gaudreau.

Registration:
Registration opens on January 15th to current After School families only. Open enrollment for the public (non-after school families) begins on January 29th. These families can also pre-register beginning on January 15th, but will be considered “wait listed” until open enrollment begins on January 29th. At that time, all “wait listed” registrations on file will be processed in the order they were received prior to the official start of open enrollment on January 29th @ 12pm.

When registering, you will be signing up your child for the classroom that they have just completed in the 2021-2022 school year. For example, if your son will be completing kindergarten in 2022, please select the Kindergarten (K Room) classroom. If your daughter will be completing 4th grade, sign up for the 3rd-5th grade classroom.

Curriculum & Instruction

Our curriculum promotes creativity, learning and physical well-being through a variety of morning enrichment classes, teacher-led projects, in house performances, field trips and more! Our enrichment instructors are professionals and specialists in their field. Our staff consists of experienced and well qualified teachers who have diverse backgrounds in the arts, athletics, education, history, music, and theatre. The genuine commitment and dedication of our staff is reflected in the low staff turn over. Our current staff has an average of 7 years of experience.

Schedule

Each child begins easing into their day with indoor/outdoor free play with their peers.

Our morning enrichment class changes weekly, but we offer one enrichment each week such as karate, hip hop dance, Zumba, Top Secret Science, art, drumming, music and movement & more! Each enrichment takes place either in their classroom or outdoors.

After our fun-filled morning, we break for lunch. Lunch is not provided by Kids’ Corner, but families have the option to pre order lunch daily through our partnerships with D’Agostino’s Deli and Gloria’s Pizza. Details will be provided the week before your child attends as to not get lost in the shuffle.

In our afternoons, we head outside for water play and/or hop on the bus for a local excursion to the splash park, swimming, or tennis!

Later in the afternoon, we have snack time (snack is provided by Kids’ Corner). We then transition into an evening of Kids’ Corner’s beloved Project Sign-Up (teacher-led activities in art, baking, sports and more!) and we end our days at Kids’ Corner by enjoying some indoor/outdoor freeplay.

Please note the enrichment and field trip change weekly!
