KLA Schools in Horizon West is hosting its “All Things in Motion” summer camp for ages 3 months old to five years old.
The newest KLA location opened in the Fall of 2020 to provide the community with a different choice for a private preschool experience, with an innovative and child-centered curriculum inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education.
The 10 weeks of summer camp allow children to discover a STEAM inspired world of movement and motion.
Children can participate in a wide range of weekly themes including Carnival Kick-Off, Full STEAM Ahead, Robot Roundup, Out of this World, KLA Olympics and Ocean Adventures.
One week, children engaged in the Amazon Adventures theme after curiosity sparked when the school found two bats nesting in the school’s arboretum.
Summer camp participants enjoyed creating a coconut tree craft, visited the LunaSea Alpaca Farm, played on slip and slides, learned yoga, created animal and plant fossils with clay, and even took a shot at an Amazon jungle obstacle course in the gym.
As part of the weekly activities, Anne Russo, media specialist who helps with STEM and STEAM learning at the school, took children in small groups out to the arboretum to enjoy an educational book about bats followed by a echolocation game.
