Looking for a New Option for Your Children This Summer?

Throughout the school year, Primrose students learn math, reading and critical thinking skills, while participating in activities specifically designed to teach them how to adopt healthy lifestyles, use their imaginations and express themselves creatively. The Balanced Learning® curriculum, which is exclusive to Primrose, blends teacher-guided and child-initiated activities with a special emphasis on character development to help students prepare for success in their school years ahead and throughout life.

Participating in this kind of high-quality, balanced program doesn’t have to stop at the end of the school year. Many organizations offer summer camps that engage children in fun activities and discovery. At the Primrose Summer Adventure Club, children enjoy exploring interesting topics AND continue learning through purposeful play. The Primrose Summer Adventure Club builds Active Minds, Healthy Bodies and Happy Hearts® through:

· Engagement. Parents often worry about their children forgetting lessons learned in school by not exercising their minds enough over the long summer break. Keeping the brain stimulated and continuing to learn every day is important for little ones, as their brains are constantly developing. At Primrose’s Summer Adventure Club, children participate in fun activities that simultaneously reinforce important skills like reading and math, keeping them engaged and learning.

· Activities. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, children should participate in 60 minutes or more of physical activity every day to stay fit and healthy. The Primrose Summer Adventure Club provides a great opportunity for children to get off the couch and interact with other children through games and activities. Primrose children also engage in purposeful play through the school’s Thumbs Up!® physical health and development and outdoor play program.

· Fun. Having fun and learning go hand-in-hand. At the Primrose Summer Adventure Club, children have the opportunity to play with ideas, build friendships, exercise their imaginations and even explore new places.

· Discovery. Discovering something new every day is the basis for learning. With creative weekly themes and stimulating activities, children engage in exciting lessons on a variety of topics. From music to math to sports, the Primrose Summer Adventure Club fosters a love of learning.

“Encouraging children to use their natural tendency to learn through play and exploration over the summer gives them time to practice, internalize and apply what they learned during the more academic part of the year,” says Dr. Gloria Julius, vice president of Education and Professional Development for Primrose Schools. “They can investigate and explore topics that interest them in more depth, which will help them develop into well-rounded learners.”

Summer programs that include educational components are becoming increasingly popular options for parents looking for summer child care. By visiting local summer programs in the community and talking with the staff and teachers, families can match their summer goals with the best summer experience for their child.

“We are excited to offer the Primrose Adventure Club at our school in 2016,” says Felicia Hines, Franchise Owner of Primrose School of Lawrenceville North. “We encourage families to visit our school and see how beneficial our summer program can be for their child’s development!”
