Three reasons why sending your new PreK student to Highlander Summer will ease their transition into the school year.

Attending Highlander Summer allows your child to become familiar with the school’s environment, layout, and facilities before starting class in the Fall. Your child can begin to cultivate a sense of independence and self-assurance in a familiar environment that will serve them well as they transition to formal schooling. This can reduce tears of anxiety and help them feel more comfortable on their first day of school. It also provides an opportunity for parents to learn our carline system and meet many members of the Lake Highland staff before the school year starts!

In addition to our Introduction to PreK camps, Highlander Summer provides two other opportunities for children to socialize with some of their future classmates, who share similar interests and experiences, in a relaxed and fun setting. Our Tiny Tartans Day Camp, taught by a certified teacher, and Bluey’s Adventure, taught by one of our LHP nurses, are the perfect camps for our new PreK students to explore, try new things, and build friendships early, easing the transition into the school year and fostering a sense of belonging within the school community. Children learn to work together towards common goals, share responsibilities, and appreciate the value of collective effort through group games, collaborative play, arts and crafts projects, and water play. Both Tiny Tartans Day Camp and Bluey’s Adventure are open to Lake Highland families and the Orlando community, so grab a friend, and join the fun!

Regardless of the camp you choose for your future Highlander, our aim is to ensure their familiarity with our campus and routines, friendships with potential classmates, and an enjoyable, memorable summer. It’s worth noting that PreK students flourish in structured environments and routines, so we highly encourage their participation in multiple camps to facilitate a smooth transition into the upcoming school year.

Take it from one of our amazing families from last summer:

We wanted to say thank you for an amazing summer! Our son was in Highlander Day Camp – Tiny Tartans for all 7 weeks of summer camp, and he had an amazing time! He has learned so much and Mrs. Barrios has created some special memories for him! The leadership and connection the counselors and volunteers have with the kids is so wonderful! The activities were very unique and hands-on. We loved that each week there was a new theme and activities that were geared towards new skill sets for our son to learn for his age! The water play was one of our child’s favorite parts of the day and perfect for the summertime!
