Specialty Camps
Summer Puddle Jumpers
Whether you’re planning to enroll your child into Sunshine & Rainbows Learning Center, or another area preschool, these classes are necessary for getting your child ready to take that jump towards independence. Our curriculum includes valuable, developmentally appropriate activities that enhance the skills needed to start preschool. Children do not have to be potty trained for Puddle Jumpers classes. Parents do not stay with their children for our Puddle Jumpers Classes. Summer Puddle
Jumpers class focuses on getting children accustomed to being away from parents in a warm, caring environment. Our ultimate goal is to overcome the tears, complete an art creation and teach class participation skills, but also focus on more preschool preparedness skills. As the child progresses, the child will be encouraged to make choices between interest areas, taking turns, listening, circle time, following directions, sharing, and participating in clean-up time. Your child will also work on fine motor skills as they learn to use
a glue stick, write, draw, and paint using a variety of art materials. Your child will also be visiting our natural sandbox, playground, flower gardens and use our sensory tables. Please dress your child in play clothes.
