🔠 What are we learning?

Dear Sapitos Parents,

We are getting down to the last few weeks of Summer Camp! This week we will learn to be Little Athletes. We will continue creating safe learning environments that offer the children the opportunity to explore sports. We have scheduled exciting learning activities that will allow us to continue strengthening motor, cognitive-sensory and language skills. One of them is the Olympics Parade at Sff! Children will create the Olympic Torch for art project, they will also participate in competitions and on Friday, they will have so much fun on our bike ride.

Thank you once again for all your support and for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life.

Thank you,

Miss Karla and Miss Paula

Yet applying sunscreen and mosquito repellent to your child requires planning. If sunscreen and mosquito repellent must be applied to your child, make sure to fill out an administration or authorization form specifying when sunscreen and mosquito repellent should be applied and be sure to supply the sunscreen and mosquito repellent, label the bottles with your child's name and place them in a Ziploc bag.
