Summer Programs
The 2012 CYC Summer Programs will run 6 weeks, from June 25th - August 3th.
The Center for Young Children is a laboratory school for the children of the University of Maryland faculty, staff and students. Located on the College Park Campus, this state of the art facility provides an environment which educates and cares for children in a developmentally appropriate manner. The CYC offers preschool and school age summer programs for both the University community and local community during several weeks each summer.
The Program
The Center for Young Children offers a summer program for children ages 3 through 1st grade (those that have completed first grade). The hours are from 7:45 AM to 5:30 PM daily. The program is based on the CYC's already exciting, hands-on curriculum, and is further expanded to include outdoor activities, music/movement, swimming trips to the Campus Recreation Center, and other stimulating local field trips. The University of Maryland Shuttle and Charter Buses are used for transportation to and from field trips. Morning and afternoon snacks are provided as well as milk for lunch. Each preschool and kindergarten room has a rest period.
