School Age

Our Before and After-School Program invites your child into the Learning Jungle classroom before and/or after their regular school day. Learning Jungle educators take the time to form meaningful relationships with each child, appreciating the increased competency of school-age children by giving them independence but also encouraging and helping them to participate and make the right decisions. Play is still critical for school-age children as they continue to grow their skills in the five domains (social, emotional, language, cognitive and physical). After a long day at school, children look forward to unwinding and stretching their muscles, hanging out with friends, and engaging in a variety of fun, educational activities available at our facility.

Summer Camp

Get Ready for a 10-week Summer Adventure! Kids ages 3-12 will explore, create, and discover through hands-on activities, field trips, and weekly celebrations. Each themed week builds on the last, making this an unforgettable journey of learning and fun all summer long. With hands-on projects, kids build, create, experiment, and explore through engaging activities that bring each week's theme to life. Themed field trips provide weekly outings that connect learning to the real world (parks, museums, aquariums, and more). Families join end-of-week at Friday Family Celebrations to see projects, enjoy performances, and celebrate camper achievements.
