Is Kindergarten Camp a Fit For Your Child?

Kindergarten Camp will help your child discover his love for learning!

Kindergarten Camp is for any child that has one (1) of the following needs:

• Support in the transition to kindergarten
• Skills when adapting to a new environment
• Creation of meaning and enjoyment while learning
• Development of handwriting and fine motor activities
• Identification of phonological awareness and early reading processes
• Focus on academics while being at a developmental preschool

By taking an educational therapy approach and incorporating research-based programs, the Child Success Center Kindergarten Enrichment Camp offers your child a unique, summer learning experience, while having great fun in our state-of-the-art sensory motor gym in Los Angeles, California.  

K-CAMP is an individualized experience, with highly trained learning specialists looking at the “whole child” while meeting the specific needs of each child. Campers will work with a learning specialist to explore their learning journey. During the K-CAMP learning adventure, each child will be helped to develop confidence when taking the first steps toward reading, writing, attending to a new routine and being socially involved. Our approach allows visual and auditory integration, providing the child with a thorough learning experience and understanding from many areas of the brain.

K-CAMP provides a balance of educational, classroom-like experiences and positive social development opportunities. Our team utilizes the hugely effective Social Thinking® (Attributed to Michelle Garcia Winner as creator of the Social Thinking Methodology) curriculum that builds the  body & brain awareness that is supportive to learning exploration. Our gymnasium  provides a fun, interactive and comfortable learning environment for children. With success comes the joy of seeing your child adapt to new circumstances, thrive socially, develop the necessary skills to succeed in school and learn effectively and happily.

K-CAMP will ignite your child’s learning journey whether the goal is remediation of skills and/or enrichment, all while having great summer fun!

Much of the CSC Kindergarten Camp program is based on the following areas of learning and acquisition of skills.

• Social Thinking® & Whole-Body Listening  – develops skills in focusing, listening, auditory cohesion and attending to the body in group and learning situations. Addressing whole-body listening can allow the child to understand the role of their brain in an array of experiences. (this is incorporated in all learning endeavors)

• Auditory Discrimination  – increases the understanding and ability to discern between the differences in sounds. Sounds make up words which make up sentences and passages. Discrimination is important in all areas of learning- reading, writing and visual/auditory integration. Understanding discrimination can often bring about comfort and confidence in the reading process.

• Auditory Memory – increases ability to develop phonemes, words and sentences and retain and recall information that is presented orally.

• Phonological Skills – evolve through learning sounds and developing phonological awareness through sound-symbol relationship, blending and segmentation, and incorporating visual, auditory and motion into the learning process.

• Handwriting – includes letter and number formation, sequencing, and development of healthy, adaptive handwriting practices.

EXPECTATIONS OF SCHOOLS

Common Core Standards have clearly upped the stakes when it comes to what skills your child will need to have in his academic and social tool belt upon entering Kindergarten. The expectations for these young children are high and include age appropriate proficiency in reading, writing, listening and collaboration. The CSC Kindergarten Camp program addresses all of these areas while maintaining a fun and stress-free environment your child will look forward to each day.
