Giocare Summer Program

Bambini, Mimmo & Piccolo(born in 2024 & 2023) – These groups begin the day inside with a consistent morning routine of play, morning circle time and sometimes a small group activity. Then they get to explore a local playground or splash pad mid morning to enjoy the sprinklers. Snack and water is often enjoyed outdoors in the shade. Certain days will be designated for walking trips including visiting the Farmers Market in Prospect Park, the Koi Pond in Greenwood Cemetery, The Community Garden and more. These groups will have an outdoor sensory art, music & movement, science/nature explorations and outdoor sport play weekly. Crescente, Medio & Mezzo (born in 2022) – These groups start with a brief morning meeting time and then head right out to the park, playground or splash pad in our neighborhood! Snack and water is enjoyed outdoors in the shade while the children dry off from their sprinkler adventures. Building, art and explorative activities are planned in the late morning which can occur either outdoors or indoors. One day is dedicated each week for this group to do a local walking or travel trip and one day to visit Prospect Park. We’ve ventured to the Botanic Garden or Prospect Park Zoo and Sunset Park to name a couple of favorite places. We will also visit places like the Farmers Market in Prospect Park, the Koi Pond in Greenwood Cemetery and The Community Garden. These groups will have sensory art and exploratory science/nature activities weekly as well as music & movement and outdoor sports! Compagni & Amici (born in 2021) – These groups will meet us each day ready to begin their daily adventure! They will venture to various playgrounds, parks and green spaces around the neighborhood. Snack, lunch and fresh water is enjoyed outdoors on most days in the shade after or before an excursion! We will frequent Prospect Park and explore what it has offer. Every day is a walking trip for the children including visiting the Farmers Market in Prospect Park, the Koi Pond in Greenwood Cemetery and more. One day this group ventures further and last year’s adventures included visiting the Museum of Natural History and Melody Lanes for a bowling excursion. Children will have sensory and process art, as well as exploratory science/nature specials weekly and Music & Movement and outdoor sports in Prospect Park. After a full day outdoors, we look to bring children in to unwind with focused art and explorative projects and activities.
