A Letter from Lisa: March Edition Posted March 2, 2022 Dear Friends,Whether your child enjoys sports, art, cooking or science, we have it covered, and we have summer camps your child will love! Studies show that summer learning opportunities lead to higher graduation rates, better preparation for college, and positive effects on children’s self-esteem, confidence, and motivation. High-quality summer programs keep students engaged in learning, teach them new skills, allow them to develop previously unseen talents, and foster creativity and innovation.What should parents look for in a high-quality summer program?Balanced programming with daily opportunities for STEM, reading, culturalenrichment, play, and recreationHigh interest, engaging activitiesPositive interaction between kids and caring adultsA safe, structured learning environment, licensed by New York State Office ofChildren & Families.Personalized attention / Low student-to-staff ratiosThe best programs focus on developing the whole child — intellectually, socially, physically, and emotionally — so that he or she is prepared for both the present and the future. At Explore & More we thoughtfully design our summer programs to provide endless opportunities for exploration and discovery – so that our students are encouraged to dive right into the deep end and discover all that they are capable of. Check out our website for more information about what makes Explore & More the place to be this summer. Don’t miss out on the fun. Spaces are limited, so register your school-age child today.Looking forward to seeing you at the museum soon,Lisa ChrapowiczSenior Manager of Strategic & Community Initiatives
