SUMMER PROGRAMS


2022 SUMMER PROGRAMS

Innovative pathways into critical thinking, discovery, and knowledge that inspires learning in children and teens

INFANT AND TODDLER TIME

SCHEDULE:
​Every Thursday at 10:00 am

AGES: 0-4 years (older siblings are welcome to attend)

​
Through singing, talking, playing, and reading, infants and toddlers acquire literacy skills in a fun-filled learning environment which leads to children who both enjoy reading and read more. The program provides a supportive network to parents and caregivers where they connect to other families and form community bonds. The program provides families with a book each month and strategies on how to share the book with their little ones based on age. The books and literacy strategies help families increase literacy skills and build interest in reading.

Our Summer Reading Program provides weekly learning opportunities to children ages 4 to 13 though storytime, imaginative play, skill-building activities, and most importantly – books!

An entire show put together in one week! With makeup applied, costumes on, and butterflies in their nervous bellies, kids become stars as they take the stage to perform “Frog Prince” presented by Missoula Children’s Theatre. In just one week, students have auditioned, rehearsed, and participated in acting workshops in preparation for the big community performance. Even shy and reluctant children break those barriers as they take on the role of their characters while building critical life skills – teamwork, confidence, and effective communication.
