Research has shown that programs like The Goddard School that have specific learning goals, use learning and developmental standards and are age-appropriate are ideal in preventing summer learning losses.
Tips for Choosing a Summer Program:
• Choose a program that is based on each child's interests and natural curiosity – this allows children the opportunity to direct their own learning.
• Ask for credentials, experience and training of the teachers/counselors.
• Check the health and safety practices of the program. Make sure you are comfortable that the program will be able to handle your child’s unique needs.
• Inquire about the daily schedule of the program. Does the program combine songs, stories, exploration, art, physical activities and learning adventures in a safe, nurturing environment? Ask how much freedom a child has to choose activities.
• Ask for references.
Summer Camp starts June 27th. For more information about Summer Camp at the Goddard School of Wall, please call Miss Samantha at 732-974-8314.
