Fantastic First Graders and Super Second Graders!
Fantastic First Graders & Super Second Graders!
For children entering 1st or 2nd grade in the fall
Looking for a summer program that keeps your child learning while having a blast? Our motto is “Have FUN while LEARNING!”, and we’re here to make sure your child stays engaged, grows in confidence, and is ready for the next school year!
Each day, children will receive targeted instruction to strengthen their skills in reading, writing, and math. Our team will work to close any learning gaps while also providing enrichment opportunities to challenge and prepare them for success in the upcoming school year.
Beyond academics, students will participate in exciting project-based learning through science, cooking, and art—encouraging creativity, exploration, and hands-on discovery!
At CLS, we know that strong social-emotional skills are just as important as academics. That’s why each day includes explicit instruction and fun activities to help children develop essential life skills, such as:
🧠 Whole-body listening & focus
💡 Problem-solving & critical thinking
😊 Emotional regulation & self-confidence
🤝 Building friendships & teamwork
And, of course, our afternoons are packed with fun, themed activities to keep kids engaged:
⭐ Movement Mondays – Get moving with active play!
🔧 Tinkering Tuesdays – Build, create, and explore STEM challenges.
💦 Wet Wednesdays – Cool off with water play and splashy fun!
🎭 This or That Thursdays – Make choices and explore different activities.
🚌 Field Trip Fridays – Head out for exciting weekly adventures!
No summer learning loss here—just growth, fun, and confidence-building for your fantastic first or super second grader!
