Summer Camp Plus KinderCamp

Harker’s KinderCamp introduces a classroom routine that prepares children for a successful transition into kindergarten.

KinderCamp

Kindergarten is specially designed to prepare children for entering school in the fall. Mornings are filled with readiness lessons in math, language arts, STEM and art. Children are engaged in school-day routines, small-group instruction, hands-on centers and activities to further develop fine motor and social skills.

Weekly folders are sent home with newsletters and student work. No grades or report cards are issued.
