Highlights

Integrated Curriculum
Bi-weekly themes allow children to explore topics through many lenses. Toddlers explore STEAM in their specially designed Maker Studio throughout the summer.

Highly Trained & Experienced Staff
To provide consistency for our youngest campers, the Turtles are led by year-round WMS teachers. They will be assisted by many other school-year staffers and several college students. 

Facilities & Campus
Our toddler classrooms are beautiful spaces, designed by our lead teachers to facilitate toddlers' development of independence, competence and confidence. The natural toddler playground, gross-motor playroom, toddler Maker (STEAM) Studio and acres of natural woodlands provide the perfect environment for a program supporting toddlers' physical, social and intellectual development. Children engage in a variety of outdoor activities including weekly waterplay on the toddler playground!
