PROGRAM FOR “NEW TWOS”
The “New Twos” Summer Class is a wonderful first separation experience for your young two year old.  Parents or caregivers are encouraged to stay until their child is comfortable.  There is a lot of outdoor playtime, water play, many messy art activities and the typical classroom activities appropriate for our youngest learners.

In order to attend the “New Twos” summer program, your child must turn two by June 1, 2010. The class will consist of a group of approximately 10 – 13 children with a teacher, 2 assistant teachers and 1 counselor. Toddlers do not need to be toilet trained for summer camp.

TODDLER / TRANSITIONAL SUMMER PROGRAM
The Toddler / Transitional Summer Program is for the two to three year old who has attended a program where they comfortably separated from their caregiver during the past school year.  There is a lot of outdoor playtime, water play, messy art activity, hands on science, music and so much more!  If your child was in an Alcott School Toddler Class, every effort will be made to place him/her with classmates from the previous school year.  The Toddler class will consist of a group of approximately 15-17 children with a teacher, two assistant teachers and a counselor.  Children do not need to be toilet trained.

Half Day Morning Summer Program
Our morning summer program will run from 9-12 in both the Crane Road and Dobbs Ferry locations.  Children will have the opportunity for outdoor play, water play, art experimentation, computer work, hands on science activities, music, movement, nature and so much more.

Afternoon Summer Program
We also offer extra hours for our 3 to 6 year old children.  While you could enroll your child for only the afternoon program, most families use this option to extend their child’s morning schedule.  Children bring their lunch from home.  All lunches will be refrigerated.  At noon children enjoy a social time on the playground followed by lunch either indoors or outdoors.  Each day has a special theme or activity.  This year we will offer soccer, golf, tee ball classes in addition to our favorite cooking and messy art activities!  Children may enroll for one or more days each week in this exciting afternoon enrichment program

FULL DAY CLASS SUMMER PROGRAM
Our newest programs are designed to meet the needs of families requiring care for a longer period of time or for children who are ready for a longer day.

Full day children will bring their lunch from home.  After a morning of active play both indoors and out they will have the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing social time with their friends.  A rest time follows and the afternoon is filled with a special activity each day!  Plans include:
•           Soccer
•           Golf
•           Tee ball
•           messy art
•           cooking
•           gardening
•           and of course  lots of relaxed time for socializing and playing outdoors!
Each week will have a special theme and a classroom of activities to go along with it!

EXTENDED DAY CLASS SUMMER PROGRAM
Our Extended Day Class, in Scarsdale, will run a seven week Summer Program, beginning on Monday, June 28th and ending on Friday, August 13th. . The program runs from 8 am to 5 pm. Early drop off between 7:30 and 8 am is available as well as late pick up between 5 and 6 pm. We will provide breakfast and a healthy afternoon snack.
