SUMMER FAQ


Does my child need to have an IEP or 504 plan to attend?

Not all students who attend the summer program have an IEP or 504 plan. Some students are in the beginning of the process of identifying a potential challenge in learning, and some students do not have academic deficits but benefit highly from continued structure and socialization over the summer.

Which students are best served through your program?

Students with discrepancies in their academics, that may be due to a specific learning disability such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia or ADHD. Our focus is on academic intervention and building executive functioning skills. 

What is the application process?

Begin the application process by submitting an inquiry. Next, a member of our team will contact you to collect documents that will helps us ensure that we are equipped to best serve your student's needs. Documents could include ETR, IEP, 504, academic evaluations, standardized test scores or report cards. We may collect additional information from your student's teachers to fully understand their academic profile and needs.

Will my child receive a snack during the day?

All students in Morning Adventures receive a snack during the summer program. Snacks include a student choice of chips, cookies, pretzels, ice cream, popcorn, juice boxes and water. Students are welcome to bring their own snack if there are allergies or dietary restrictions.

What happens if my child stays for lunch?

Students staying for lunch should pack their lunches (with food that does not require heating). Lunch will be enjoyed outside (weather permitting).

Do you offer discounts or financial aid?

Financial aid is not typically available. Early registration discounts may apply.  Some parents use their employer's flexible spending account (FSA) to save even more. Check with your employer's dependent care benefits to learn more.

What if my child misses a portion of the summer program?

We are hopeful that students can attend all days for which they are registered. However we understand that absences may occur unexpectedly and because of other plans and travel. However, we are unable to provide discounts due to planned or unplanned absences.

Will I receive any feedback or progress reporting from the summer program?

Yes! One of the benefits of the summer program is a comprehensive progress report that highlights your students strengths and recommended areas of growth in academics, work habits and executive functioning skills.
