Introduction to Peace of Mind's Summer Camp
Commitment to Safety, Learning, and Fun
At Peace of Mind, we offer a stimulating environment for children with a core commitment to safety, learning, and fun.
Goals for Enriching Experiences, Hands-On Activities, and Social Development
Our summer camp strives to provide enriching experiences, hands-on activities, and healthy social development. There are countless ways we can enhance your family’s summer experience with our premium kids’ summer programs.
Program Highlights
Daily Schedule and Activity Balance
Our daily summer daycare schedule includes structured activities and free play. We don’t want summer to feel like an extension of school, so we offer ample time for independent enjoyment. Our summer activities combine learning and entertainment to create engaging programs for kids of all ages. We emphasize physical activity and outdoor play to ensure our children don’t fall into a sedentary slump while out of school. Our structured summer learning also incorporates cognitive challenges, so your kids will stay sharp until it’s time for class in the fall.
Engaging Activities for All Interests
Hands-On Learning and Creativity
Our organized science experiments facilitate exploration-based learning.
Art and Craft Projects for Creativity and Fine Motor Skills
Arts and crafts projects inspire creativity while honing fine motor skills through tailored exercises that we thoughtfully adjust for each age group.
Science Experiments and Exploration-Based Learning
These academic summer enrichment programs feature a STEAM curriculum so your kids can enhance their science, technology, engineering, arts, and math knowledge.
Outdoor Adventures and Physical Play
Outdoor play is the cornerstone of our summer activities for children.
Safe Outdoor Play Areas and Group Games
At Peace of Mind, we’ll ensure your kids enjoy a safe and spacious outdoor area for physical play, including running, jumping, and games.
Staff-Led Excursions and Team-Building Games
Our staff-led outdoor excursions allow children to stretch their legs and explore, and structured interactive games build teamwork and strengthen social skills.
Cultural and Social Skill Development
Many of our summer camp activities explore different cultures and backgrounds.
Group Activities to Build Social Connections and Cultural Awareness
These programs foster social connections and broaden children’s views of the world. Our cultural activities may include world geography, culinary arts, guest speakers, and more.
Focus on Health and Nutrition
Nutritious Meals and Snacks
Daily Healthy, Balanced Meals for Campers
Our Peace of Mind summer camp offers your kids a healthy and balanced breakfast, lunch, and snack daily. We assemble these meals per the United States Department of Agriculture’s guidelines and include milk for every child.
Peanut-Free Environment and Allergy Accommodations
Our menus include vegetarian options, and we maintain a strictly nut-free facility to protect children with allergies while offering flexibility to cater to other allergies or dietary needs.
Hydration and Outdoor Safety
Regular Water Breaks and Shaded Areas
Our schedule includes frequent water breaks to keep kids hydrated. Shaded areas are available for extended outdoor activities to minimize exposure to the heat and sun.
Sunscreen Application for Sun Safety
We ask you to liberally apply sunscreen to your child before bringing them to camp each day. Our staff members can reapply sunscreen throughout the day if you provide it and complete a permission to administer/apply form, which we highly recommend.
Experienced and Caring Educators
Qualified and Trained Staff
We maintain an experienced staff of teachers who understand the importance of early childhood development and strive to support growth and learning throughout all our summer camp activities.
Staff Qualifications, First Aid, and CPR Certifications
Everyone on staff maintains first aid and CPR certifications. If your child has an allergy, we’ll create an individual childcare plan for them and train all staff members appropriately so they know how to safely implement the plan for your youngster’s needs.
Commitment to Positive Behavior Guidance
We train our teachers to use positive guidance techniques, including redirection, praise, and distraction. Positive reinforcement encourages friendly, respectful social interactions among everyone on the campus. Our inclusive approach to learning and discipline will ensure your child feels valued, respected, and supported, even if they’re struggling.
Safety and Security Measures
Comprehensive Safety Protocols
Emergency Protocols and Regular Fire/Tornado Drills
We have clear safety protocols for any unexpected event and run regular fire and tornado drills with our students so everyone knows what to do in an emergency.
Secure Sign-In and Sign-Out Policies
At Peace of Mind, we maintain a strict sign-in and sign-out policy to ensure child safety. Children are never permitted to leave with an unauthorized adult.
Health and Wellness Practices
Our health and wellness practices help prevent the spread of illness. We maintain handwashing and hygiene routines for every participant, including our infants. Please be aware that our policy requires you to take home and wash blankets and bedding weekly or when soiled.
