School Break Programs

Summer Break for Elementary-Aged Children 

Southwest Child Care Early Learning Centers provide full-time care for elementary-aged children during the summer break months — as well as Winter and Spring Breaks. We spend many months creating a developmentally appropriate and fun program that will keep children exploring, stimulated and busy. The schedule includes diverse and interesting field trips as well as a free swimming program. We have a thematic curriculum that incorporates history, language, science and literacy while keeping the summer active and fun. We understand that even elementary-aged children learn through play. You can rest assured that your child will not spend their summer sitting in front of a television or playing video games when they are in our program. Our summer themes have taken kids to foreign lands, on physical fitness adventures and through scientific explorations!
