The Harrisville Children’s Center offers an optional 8-Week Summer Program for toddlers and preschoolers. This program is open to children enrolled in our regular school year programs as well as children who will only attend our programs in the summer. Families may sign up for as few as one or as many as all eight of the one-week sessions. Children may attend 2, 3, or 5 days per week and stay for a half or full day. Each session is based on a theme.
Summer Themes
The themes vary year to year but have included:
- Fairy Tales and Magical Worlds
- Foods From Near and Far
- Bugs All Around Us
- Musical Instruments
- Trees and Other Plants
- Nursery Rhymes
- Creatures Great and Small
The Summer Program includes several field trips to local destinations, swimming lessons for the preschoolers at Harrisville Pond with a licensed water safety instructor, trips to the local library for story time and projects, special celebrations and events, and lots of music, exploration, and art activities. Registration for our Summer Program begins in March of each year for our currently enrolled families and April for new families.
