 Discovery Point of Lexington Oaks organized a Summer Splash |
||
|
Charity Event on June 12, 2010 to raise money
for “Kids Charity of Tampa Bay”. Members of the local community came
to play games, eat, browse vendor booths and participate in a silent
auction with items donated by the local community.
“Kids Charity of Tampa Bay” is a non-profit agency and their mission is to improve the quality of life for foster children by providing advocacy, opportunities, support and resources. “A Kids Place” – one of the community initiatives of “Kids Charity of Tampa Bay” allows children to stay together, with their siblings, as they are removed from the home. In receiving the proceeds, Nanci March ETC Coordinator of “Kids Charity of Tampa Bay” expressed her gratitude to Discovery Point for organizing “Summer Splash” and said, “We are delighted to have Discovery Point Lexington Oaks’ support as we share a common mission of ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for children.” Jane Moore, Co-Owner of Discovery Point in Lexington Oaks in presenting the check to “Kids Charity of Tampa Bay” said how delighted she was to support “Kids Charity of Tampa Bay” and thanked members of the community, and local vendors for their support. We were delighted to join with the community to raise money for this important cause. Discovery Point Lexington Oaks is a full service child care facility providing care to children from six weeks to 12 years of age. We provide specialized infant and toddler care, educational preschool programs, VPK program, as well as before and after school programs and summer camp for school age children.

When Alexis Bonilla, 11, and Emme
Kuskin, 12, learned there were children in the world unable to go to
school they decided to start a Pennies for Peace drive. The change collected at Countryside Montessori in Land O’ Lakes will go to the Pennies for Peace foundation that builds schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan and buys school supplies. One penny can buy a pencil, two pennies can buy an eraser, 15 pennies can buy a notebook and $1 dollar will pay a teacher’s salary for a day. Sue Grossman, upper level teacher at the school, said it started as a class project, but then Bonilla and Kuskin decided it needed to be a school-wide project. She said she originally chose the project because... |

Tip #40: Road Trips: Make "Getting There" a Little Less Bumpy Compliments of Primrose Schools at Collier Parkway
July often means
traveling to exciting summer vacation destinations. Changes
in the economy have prompted many families to drive to their
destinations to save money. Summer road trips may be easier on the
wallet, but long road trips can be challenging for families with small
children. However, a little advance planning to your vacation
preparations can help make “getting there” more fun for everyone. Make a travel kit with snacks and activities. Use a plastic container, tote, or backpack for easy access to items. Books, crossword puzzles, coloring books, washable crayons/markers, drawing paper, activity books, favorite snacks, cards games, etc. are all great ideas for travel kits.
Pace yourself. Stop as often as you can at rest stops to stretch and allow children to use the restroom. Remember that time is an abstract concept to young children and “just four more hours” may seem like forever to them. If the trip is too much to do in one day, it may be easier on everyone to break it into two shorter trips. Read a favorite book. Traveling is the perfect time to read a favorite book to your child(ren) and/or let them read and explore a book on their own. Another option is to listen to favorite books on tape or CD. Below are a few titles that children at Primrose Schools are enjoying this summer:
Flip Flop Bop
by Matt Novak How I Spent My Summer Vacation by Mark Teague Play car games. Teach your children classic car games you played as a child. “I Spy” is a great travel game for road trips where one player picks something they see and gives clues for other passengers to guess the object. “A to Z Game” is another travel game option. The first player starts with the letter “A” and names an object they see that starts with “A.” The next player selects an object that starts with the letter “B,” and so on, until an object has been named for each letter of the alphabet.Sing a song. Bring along favorite CDs of classic childrens’ songs and/or travel songs. The whole family can sing to the music together as the miles go by.

The Rainforest was created with recycled materials by middle school science teacher Teresa Lynn and her students.
During the last week of the school year, Bishop Larkin Catholic School middle school Science Teacher, Teresa Lynn, was brainstorming ways to keep all of her students engaged in learning as the clock to begin summer vacation wound down. She decided to re-create a Rainforest in her classroom based on a workshop she had attended. With the help of her middle school science students and some recycled materials; a rainforest was constructed in the science lab. Complete with tropical “plants” and “animals” created by or donated by students, the entire school was invited to come in for a visit!

Summer
Camp information Primrose School
Primrose
School has long been recognized for its fun and educational
summer camp programs, and this summer is no exception. We
have put together a summer camp program that will be
entertaining as well as provide your child with life skills
that will stay with them forever. The
summer program consists of three units of learning that run
for a three or four week period. They are: What’s
Cooking, June 8th, 15th, 22nd.
When I Grow Up, June 29th, July 6th,
13th, 20th. Passport to Adventure,
July 27th, August 3rd, 10th,
17th. We offer flexible summer scheduling to fit
your busy summer needs. Sign up for a week, for one unit of
learning, or for the entire summer camp session. Classes
fill up quickly so we ask that you plan your camp needs
prior to coming in to sign up. We
have some exciting field trips planned for our campers that
include, a visit to a Hydroponic Farm, a tour of a Battle
Ship, trip to MOSI, a trip to the Zoo and one to the
Aquarium, to mention a few. Each field trip is supervised
by our trained staff and campers are transported on our
inspected 26 passenger bus. The child to teacher ratio
for our field trips and other camp activities is one teacher
to twelve campers. This ratio is far below what is
required by the state and below what many other camp
programs offer. As a parent, you are invited on any trips
that may be of interest. However for insurance reasons we
must ask that you transport yourself and meet us at the
field trip location. Our
tuition of $170.00 per week is all inclusive.
Included are: two field trips each week, snacks, lunches,
picnics, supplies, transportation, camp shirt and group
activities. All you have to supply is a child that is eager
to have fun while learning. For
additional information call us direct or visit our web
site. We are always available to answer any questions you
may have.
