Safety In The Sun For A Worry-Free Summer

Attentive teachers with walkie talkies are in continuous communication with each other; plus, they’re always near to keep a close eye on your child. Extra measures like restricted access let you know your child is safe for a fun, worry-free summer.

Amazing Playgrounds And Indoor Gyms For Exercise

Every day there’s play, and where better to do that than on the playground? Age-segregated areas offer your child safe spaces to challenge growing muscles and make friends. On rainy days, indoor gyms host team games and obstacle courses that are so much fun.

Field Trips Show Your Child A World Of Possibilities

Museums, parks, and more, your child gets to take in new sights and experiences at favorite local destinations. Stepping outside of the usual gives your child opportunities to learn new things, and they have fun sharing the experience with friends.

Social Skills They'll Use For A Lifetime

Getting messy with new friends and playing team games exercises essential social skills your child needs in the classroom and out. Summer is most fun when it’s shared, and good friends give your child the memorable summer they deserve.

Our Accreditation Means You Are In The Right Place

Maryland State Accreditation, along with Maryland EXCELS accolades, prove your child is in excellent care with Maryland Child Care Credentialed teachers. Benchmarks like safety and influential academics are a given, and let you know you made the right choice.

Sibling Discounts Help The Whole Family Thrive

Your children love being together in a fun space with friends and hands-on activities. Take advantage of the added convenience when all your children enjoy an educational, fun summer program together.
