The summer months are a great time
for children to further enjoy and
expand upon the concepts that they
learn during the regular school
year. Participating in the summer
program offered by the Brilliance
Preschool & Academy is advisable as
review sections during the early
period of the regular school year
can be much more valuable if they
are not solely used as a reminder of
the concepts that were taught the
previous school year. However, the
activities used during the summer
are fun and exciting for the
children and may not feel like
school even though vast amounts of
learning are likely to take place.
If you are looking for a safe and
fun environment in which to involve
your child, consider taking part in
the three month summer program
offered by Camp Brilliance.
The summer program offered by the
academy revolves around the summer
camp called Camp Brilliance. At this
camp (which runs from June 1st to
August 14th), students are given the
opportunity to strengthen
friendships that they made with
their peers during the regular
school year as well as meet new
children with whom they can
interact. All children are welcome
to attend Camp Brilliance.
Enrollment in the regular school
year program is not a prerequisite
for attending the summer program.
However, students that attend the
regular school year would be well
suited to attend the summer program
as well because the learning
techniques employed are almost
identical.
One of the most exciting aspects of
the summer camp is the employment of
weekly themes that the children
enjoy. Some examples of the weekly
themes include:
● Wild, Wild West:
Students explore what it is like to be a cowboy/cowgirl and
enjoy S’mores
and campfires.
● My Family and Me:
Children discover their family roots and learn how to
interact positively
with their siblings and parents.
● The Rainforest:
Children learn about the various animals that inhabit the
rainforest.
● Crafts from Nature/Recyclable
Art: Students learn how to create art from materials provided
in nature and
recycled products.
● A Trip to the Ocean:
Students explore ocean wildlife and enjoy the water.
● 5 Senses:
Children learn how to use their 5 senses to explore their
world safely.
● When Dinosaurs Lived:
Children learn about the enormous scale of dinosaur sizes and
discover
when and where they lived.
In addition to the weekly themes,
children are given the opportunity
to enjoy special events every Friday
that tie into the theme of each
week. These events are excellent
opportunities to accent each theme
in a positive and creative way. Some
examples of special Friday events
include:
● Favorite Sports Player/Team Day
● Bandana/Brilliant Scarf Day
● Class/School Picnic
● Face Paint Day
● Crazy Hat Day
● Crazy Hair Day
● Pajama Day
● Red, White and Blue Day
Just as in the regular school year,
concepts involving reading, science
and mathematics are taught on an
individualized basis for each
student so that they continue their
learning process throughout the
year. As they develop throughout the
summer, children find that they are
afforded new opportunities for
positive interaction and learning
than before. This progressive
approach to education allows for
even greater confidence and
intellectual development as children
progress and experience new things.
While these new opportunities can be
challenging, most children welcome
the opportunity to have new and
exciting responsibilities to enhance
their mental growth.
All summer programs are designed by
the teachers and parents and you can
be assured that a wide variety of
activities and field trips will be
employed to keep the interest of the
child and continue intellectual
development. Each faculty member is
enthusiastic about the activities
included in the program and they are
well prepared and suited to perform
each activity in a controlled, safe
and fun manner. Whatever the
children do and wherever they go,
you can be assured of their safety
and positive educational development
throughout the program.
