Our Programs
Play-Based, Themed Curriculum
At Little Campers, we believe children learn best when their curiosity leads the way. That’s why our curriculum is both play-based and child-led. We keep a library of 36 engaging themes — from animals and nature to community helpers and outer space — and let the children’s interests guide which ones we explore together. Each theme comes alive through:
- 🎨 Creative Arts – Open-ended projects that reflect our theme and spark imagination
- 📖 Stories & Songs – Books, music, and storytelling tied into our focus
- 🔬 Discovery & Science – Hands-on experiments and exploration
- 🧘 Yoga & Mindfulness – Daily practice for focus, calm, and self-awareness
- 🌿 Outdoor Adventures – Nature play that connects our themes to the world around us
This approach gives children a sense of ownership in their learning, while ensuring variety, creativity, and developmental growth across every domain.
Daily Rhythm
Children thrive with a consistent routine balanced with flexibility for discovery.
At Little Campers, each day includes:
- Morning Circle Time – Songs, stories, and community time
- Learning and Play – Hands-on centers, art, and outdoor fun
- Rest Time - Calm, Cozy, and rejuvenating
- Afternoon Fun - Crafts, play, and outdoor adventures
Summer Fun!
When the weather warms up, the adventure continues! During summer months, children enjoy:
- Water play and sensory exploration
- Extended outdoor time in the sunshine
- Creative games and seasonal activities
- Opportunities for school-age siblings to join in the fun
Healthy Meals & Wellness
We proudly participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) to ensure every meal and snack meets high nutritional standards. Meals are:
- Balanced with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins
- Served family-style to encourage independence and social skills
- Paired with gentle conversation, table manners, and a calm, positive atmosphere
We believe mealtime is part of learning — a chance for children to explore new foods, listen to their bodies, and build lifelong healthy habits.
