Kindergarten Prep Camp

Kindergarten Prep Camp will provide a fun and hands-on experience for children entering kindergarten. Kids will learn and develop basic skills around numbers, letters, counting, and writing. The activities are entirely play based and also focused on developing social skills, whole brain learning, and self-control. This camp is intended to be entirely fun, stress-free, and a comfortable learning experience for your child throughout their early journey. Building foundational skills, for example a love of books as opposed to "reading" and "writing," is more along the lines of what will be achieved. This is a series to prepare kids for a happy transition to school. Β πŸ€—

What Parents Are Saying

β€œβ€
My daughter adored the Fairy House Building and the Handicrafts classes she took. The teacher is amazing and came armed with so many good quality art supplies. I like that her supplies were higher quality than a "Michael's craft store." She also had supplies from nature. The teacher encourages creativity and individual design choices. Not everybody is coming home with the same thing. Definitely an A+ experience! I love the Grasshopper Kids classes my daughter has taken, I love the teacher, she loves it. Great experience and keep it up. Higher caliber than any of the other afterschool classes offered.

Elizabeth created fairy magic for my 5 year old’s party! The children made fairy houses, listened to stories, and made fairy dust. The children loved the entire experience and were entertained for the entire two hours.

Elizabeth created a world of wizarding magic for this 9 year old birthday party. The children has so much fun making wands, potions and snitch catapults! She handled everything and kept the children happy and entertained while the adults sat on the deck and put our feet up! It was everything my son wanted and more.

Chef Elizabeth handled two 3-year-olds in the kitchen with ease! Both children are French speaking and she communicated with them in the language which was awesome to see. When the baking was finished I enjoyed the story time and learning the history of the madeleines that they baked. We all had such a fun time and can’t wait to have her back!

As a parent it was great to have an experience that my child could do independent of me.

Our Cupcake Wars Baking Experience with Elizabeth was INCREDIBLE. She is a true childcare pro and managed our group of third grade girls with ease and care. She also went above and beyond to make the experience special for my daughter and stress-free for us as her parents. Amazing experience all around!
