Daily Activities That Spark Joy & Learning

Summer camp at ABC Windsor is not just glorified babysitting — it’s an extension of our play-based, child-centered curriculum. Our summer programs incorporate the Colorado Early Learning and Development Guidelines, and many enrichment activities. 

Key Components of Our Summer Activities

  • Outdoor Learning & Exploration
    Children benefit from hands-on nature walks, gardening, water play, and bug observation. These activities encourage curiosity and develop gross motor skills.
  • STEM & Literacy Enrichment
    From building block towers to simple science experiments, we use summer to promote problem-solving and early literacy in fun, interactive ways.
  • Creative Arts & Music
    Daily opportunities for art, music, and movement promote emotional expression and fine motor development.
  • Social Skills Through Play
    Structured group games, role-play, and shared projects help build friendships, cooperation, and conflict-resolution skills — essential social milestones.
  • Special Events
    Weekly themes (like “Space Week” or “Animal Explorers”) and guest visits from local organizations keep each week exciting and unique.

Why Choose a Summer Camp for Preschoolers?

Parents often wonder whether summer camp is appropriate for very young children. In our professional experience, we believe early exposure to seasonal programming is one of the best ways to build school readiness and resilience.

Developmental Benefits of Early Childhood Summer Camp

1. Routine with Flexibility
Young children thrive in environments where routines are predictable but allow for creativity and spontaneity — exactly what summer camp offers.

2. Continuity of Learning
Preschoolers don’t need a break from learning — they need a break from formality. Summer camp maintains their academic and social momentum in a playful, low-pressure setting.

3. Confidence & Independence
Summer programs give children new experiences, new friendships, and new challenges — all of which boost their confidence and autonomy before the next school year begins.

4. Consistent Care from Familiar Faces
Our summer staff includes the same trusted educators who teach during the school year, ensuring your child is always surrounded by experienced, loving caregivers.

Common Concerns from Parents – Answered

“Is my child too young for summer camp?”

If your child is walking, talking, and beginning to show interest in play with peers, they are likely ready for our toddler or preschool-age summer camp groups. We structure our activities to suit developmental stages, not just ages.

“What if my child has allergies or special health needs?”

Our trained staff follow individualized care plans and work closely with parents to ensure every child’s health and safety needs are met. Learn more about our policies here:
