Early Childhood

COVID-19 UPDATE

Exploration Station

Ages 3-5

Choose 3 days or 5 days! Preschool campers have a blast making new friends while enjoying stimulating activities in a supportive atmosphere. Creativity and imagination abound as campers actively engage in their world through arts and crafts, stories, songs, indoor and outdoor games and free play time. Camp activities enhance social skills and ease separation anxiety. Children must be age specified within one week after the start of the class and toilet-trained (no Pull-Ups).

pee wee camp

Ages 2-3

Is your child ready to begin his or her journey into independence? Pee Wee Camp is designed to help young children transition into a structured program, where gaining independence and fostering socialization skills are emphasized. A caring and comforting environment with experienced teachers are the heart of the program. Creative expression, circle time and motor skill development will help your child get ready for their next classroom adventure. Class structure is consistent with the fall 2-year-old program, the stepping stone to the Lincoln Learning Center Preschool Program. Pull-Ups are permitted for campers who are working on potty training skills.

Safety Town

Ages 5-6

Safety Town is a nationally recognized safety education program presented by the Downers Grove Police Department, Downers Grove Junior Woman's Club, Downers Grove Park District and teen volunteers. A mini safety town, complete with kid-sized buildings, street signs and sidewalks, provides an environment where children learn pedestrian, passenger and at-home safety. Children ride big wheel trikes and enjoy visits by local school bus and fire department staff, while learning bike, school bus and fire safety lessons. Families are invited to graduation day on the last day of each session, where children receive a certificate and share their learning experience. Each child receives an official Safety Town T-shirt and class picture. A detailed program outline is provided prior to the start of the program. Child must be entering kindergarten and be age specified by Sept. 1.
