Clinton Path Preschool’s Summer Program is uniquely tailored to the needs and interests of young children three to six years old. Children need not be part of the regular school year program to sign up for the Summer Program.

The setting is relaxed, the atmosphere is cozy and familiar, and the teachers are warm and caring. Our goal is to create a happy and positive experience for all children and families. We aim to build self-confidence and friendships through individual attention, as well as fun and exciting group activities. Our teachers strike a nice balance between offering lots of choice to the kids while providing some structure and consistent routine.

Up to 17 children can attend each day. There are always at least three staff members on hand.
