Age Cut-off

Available to children 2.7 by July 1– 5.9 years of age. Due to our license regulations we cannot have children over 5.9 years of age by the first day of each session.

Groupings

Age grouping will be determined after enrollment. CHS prides itself on low teacher to child ratios. This will continue throughout the Summer Program. It is our goal, when possible, to have your child experience learning and playing with at least one of his/her fall teachers and some of his/her class members. Non-school families attending the CHS summer program will be kept with children in their initial grouping.

• Group One: 2.7 years- young 3’s
• Group Two: 3-5 years old
• Group Three: 3-4 years old or 4-5 years old
• Group Four : 4-5.9 years old

NATURE EXPLORERS and MAGIC TRASH

June 12- July 7  (4-week session, closed July 4th)

Offered to all groups

During this four-week session senses will come alive as we explore and investigate the outdoors. Children will play and learn in our forest area and nearby Presidio landmarks such as The Woodline, The Spire and The Ecology Trail. The children will smell the flowers, touch the little creatures buried under rocks, observe birds flying, and listen to the wind while they play underneath the trees. The children will also help in the school’s garden by planting new sprouts and harvesting a bountiful array of vegetables and herbs. 

After compiling a range of data from their experiences outdoors children will use recyclable materials to create their own fantastic nature sculptures. During the first week, children will openly explore and test out a variety of materials in the Recyclable Material Store that will reflect the designs they made. The children will study other artists, like themselves, who also use recyclable materials as a way to bridge them to new ideas and other creative people. Working closely with their teachers, children will joyfully create their own masterpieces that capture their imaginative spirits.

Relationships

It is our goal, when possible, to have your child experience learning and playing with at least one of his/her fall teachers and some of his/her class members.

Snacks and Meals

Program tuition will include daily snacks. Snack will be provided by Cow Hollow School. The Lunch Program will once again be available through SchoolFoodies (balanced, organic, and preservative free food). Cow Hollow School is a nut-free school.
