Features to Look For In a Quality Kids Summer Program

Jun 6, 2020

Kids get easily excited about a lot of things, but there’s nothing they look forward to quite as much as summer vacation! As much as you want to spend the sunny days with your little one, parents need to work, and it’s not always possible to satisfy childrens’ active minds and bodies when you’re juggling a full time job and a family. There’s no need to fret about your youngster going stir-crazy this summer, though, thanks to the wide variety of amusing and stimulating activities available at Jaycees Early Learning Center.

In this blog, we’ll highlight some of the latest and greatest features of our summer programs for kids in Fort Washington. From field trips to art projects with their daycare friends, there’s no shortage of ways for your kiddo to play and develop new skills at our top-rated child care center. We provide all the academic assets and engaging amenities that a quality daycare service should, whether your youngster is just learning to toddle or getting ready for the transition to middle school.

Why Choose A Fort Washington Child Care Center?

When you live in a state as historically and culturally rich as Maryland, it’s easy to find opportunities for sightseeing, outdoor recreation, and entertainment. At Jaycees Early Learning Center in Fort Washington, we annually update the structure of our summer program curriculum to provide a spectrum of memorable activities and events. Whether the day revolves around a themed, curriculum-related field trip, or it takes place primarily in our child care center in the Washington D.C. metro area, parents can rest assured that their children’s sunlit hours are spent on valuable pastimes that encourage healthy social, intellectual, emotional, and physical development. 

What Your Child Can Gain From A Summer Daycare Program

When you choose to enroll your child in a summer enrichment program at Jaycees Early Learning Center, you can expect them to come home with stories full of exciting details about the day’s events. At our Fort Washington child care center, your youngster will receive age-appropriate (yet adequately challenging!) exposure to intellectually stimulating activities, including introductory courses in Spanish and educational exercises in a fully equipped computer lab. Our summer programs are certified by NECPA, the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation, as well as approved by the Maryland EXCELS program for their affordable and high-quality summer programming. 

Summertime Child Care That Provides Entertainment As Well As Enrichment

In addition to academic and intellectually stimulating components, our curriculum includes weekly field trips to entertaining and exciting locations! Your young one(s) will enjoy access to a wide range of recreational activities and intriguing outings when they join one of our summer programs. Past and current excursions include, but are certainly not limited to:

  • Learning about astronauts at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt
  • Making waves at Glenn Dale Splash Park
  • Identifying fish species at the National Aquarium in Baltimore
  • Viewing age-appropriate, artistic films at local movie theatres
  • Conquering fears and climbing to new heights at Climb Zone in Laurel
  • And so many more!

We know that kids need time to develop their personal skills and identities just as much as they need dedicated periods of play, so we always include fun activities in our core curriculum, especially during the summer when the weather in Maryland is so accommodating. Whether your child prefers the adrenaline-fueled rides of a Six Flags roller coaster or finds inspiration in the innovative exhibits of Ripley’s Believe It Or Not museum, there is something for every young mind to enjoy with a summer enrichment program from Jaycees Early Learning Foundation.

Our Philosophy For All Kids’ Summer Programs 

From the feisty yet formative ages of three to six, all the way through to the tricky yet transitional stages of fifth and sixth grade, our Fort Washington daycare center offers a variety of thoughtfully designed and specialized summer programs that are each perfectly suited to elevate your child’s potential. At Jaycees Early Learning Center, we act with integrity and purpose and with every caregiver of our team prioritizing a high-minded intent to help kids make strides in their self-growth.
