Information about Mute/Unmute
During the sessions, we ask that you set your preferences so that the teacher can Mute/Unmute your child. This way we can ensure that all campers and grownups can engage and be heard during camp.

10 Strategies for Supporting Your Child at Home
In this short guide, you’ll find helpful strategies for setting up your home and your day to help support your child’s engagement, learning and development.
Activity Sheets
Here you’ll find all the Activity Sheets for our time together. They will be added on a weekly basis.
A note about Activity Sheets and Work Time: In play-based early childhood education, we give children time to explore materials without having a set “project” in mind. However, we use a strategy called“provocations.” In this approach, we setup specific material (s) in a way that may provoke a second look or, a “provocation” to investigate and explore further.
During “Work Time” children can be free to explore whatever materials are available to them in their typical play area. Your Activity Sheets will include materials, setup, and suggestions for provocations. Some children will go immediately to that setup, others may take some time to play in a variety of areas of the room, with different materials. Whatever they choose is okay! Use this time to engage and inquire….namely, PLAY!
Tip: This is a great time to make sure your materials are organized. Not every toy has to be out at the same time. Rotating materials is an excellent way to extend play and will help you during this time. Having fewer materials available and keeping them organized will also make clean up time easier.
