Benefits Of Summer School
“The more that you read, the more things you will know, the more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” – Dr. Seuss
When you think of summer, do you think of school? No, you probably think of the opposite. Summertime means pools, sunshine, and fun!
But just because it’s summertime doesn’t mean a child stops developing.
So when summer break comes, do you consider continuing their education throughout those few months?
The first few years of a child’s life are extremely crucial to their development, and early childhood education sets them up for success in the future. So why stop learning over the summer?
Because your child is on track for their age? It is a common myth that summer school is just reserved for students who aren’t learning at their age level. The truth is that a child can never get enough education or learning.
No, that doesn’t mean sitting in a classroom doing addition and subtraction and writing sentences over and over again; it’s about continuing their development and allowing them to flourish!
Summer school has a lot of benefits, and here at TLC schools, we offer summer school programs in the forms of all-day childcare, preschool, pre-k, and summer camps!
So let’s talk about a few benefits of summer school for your child!
Minimize Learning Loss
During the summer, children who don’t have access to educational enrichment programs can slide backward and experience learning loss. At the end of the school year, math and reading may seem like a breeze, but once they get back to school, it can be a slow start to have it all come back. However, during programs like summer camp or continued preschool, you won’t have to worry about them experiencing learning loss because they will actually reinforce what they’ve learned over the school year.
Access To Educational Programs
There may be some summer programs that your child can attend, but nothing matches the educational value quite like a school-based summer enrichment program. For example, our summer camp, Camp TLC, focuses on fun but doesn’t put education on the back burner. Your child will be engrossed in such a fun and inviting environment that they will hardly remember that they are actually LEARNING!
Our teachers carefully plan the lessons, activities, and field trips that are taken over the course of the camp, and every day is a new experience for our students to learn and grow!
Continued Social Interaction And Emotional Development
School isn’t only about educational development; it’s also about social interaction and emotional development. Engaging with other children and being able to interact and play will continue their emotional and social growth. They definitely won’t be sitting on iPads all day when they attend a summer program!
By keeping a child involved in educational programs, they can build upon the relationships they’ve already built and develop even stronger social skills as they continue sharing and communicating with their peers and teachers.
