Now Open!

Our summer program is for potty-trained preschoolers 3.5-5 years of age (as of June 1, 2022) and school-age children who have finished kindergarten through 6th grade. Children who attend our program receive a healthy morning and afternoon snack. Parents send a nutritious sack lunch. We have a preschool classroom for children who have not yet entered kindergarten. School-age children will be divided into a younger and older age group. 

School-age children will have access to our intentionally designed classrooms, 2800 sq. ft. gym, and custom-designed outdoor playscape when onsite. They will also have access to our on-site greenhouse and go on several weekly field trips to nearby trails and parks. The field trip calendar will be finalized closer to the start of summer and we plan to include destinations such as Golf Mountain Mini Golf, Rogers Bowling Center, Great Day Skate Place, Ozark Highland Nature Center, and others. Field trips will be planned according to safety guidelines in place at the time and may be changed on short notice.   

Preschool-age children have their own large classroom with lots of natural light, access to a gross motor room, and access to our outdoor playscape. Preschoolers will have special activities designed and planned just for them. They will participate in field trips about every other week and will enjoy play-based lessons and activities centered on their weekly themes.  

At the end of each week, each group will have an opportunity to earn a Special Reward Activity (see below) to reward them for their hard work and participation in the weekly lessons and on field trips.

Whether on field trips or onsite, children are supervised by several of our teachers. Children are offered a period of quiet time each day for about an hour (a little longer for preschool). We do not allow the use of electronics because our goal is to help children build friendships and good social skills through face-to-face interactions. We may incorporate a movie into our daily schedule on special occasions. 

Level Up in 2022! Building Community, Character, & Confidence

The theme this summer is Level Up in 2022! Each week,  lessons and activities will be geared toward helping children build  community, character, and confidence. We believe children need more  opportunities to develop these traits, and our summer program is  dedicated to making that happen! You can see how our summer program  curriculum ties in social-emotional learning (SEL) content each week.

Week 1: Super You (June 6-10)

Every child has unique strengths and interests that  contribute to making our Infiniti Child Care community great! This week,  we will lead activities and games where children get to share what  makes them SUPER. The goal is to learn more about your child, help your  child feel more confident about sharing about themselves, and encourage  children to build friendships that will last all summer! We will also go  over health and safety rules so children can practice being safe while  having fun on site and on field trips.

Children will learn the importance of taking other people’s  perspectives and how to resolve conflicts that may arise with their  peers, family, and teachers.
