Westchester Summer Camp for Preschoolers
Finding the right summer camps for preschoolers is essential, especially finding the perfect camp fit. It’s much like searching for the ideal daycare, nursery, or pre-k school for kids this age; you want the right camp, for they are still little! We want them to interact with their peers, learn to meet new friends, and be in a safe and supervised environment.
Summer camps for pre-k kids offer a range of activities and serve as an extension of what they have been learning in school. Camps, whether sporty, crafty, or in nature, are opportunities for this age group to continue to work to develop their social skills development, independence and confidence, creativity and imagination, cognitive skills, and emotional regulation.
