Preschool Summer Camp?

Is your preschooler ready to go to summer camp? Many preschool summer camps operate out of nursery schools and daycare centers, but there are some things parent need to take into account before they send their preschoolers to camp.

If your preschooler is potty-trained and can deal with being without a parent for a decent stretch of time, then those are good signs that your kid may be ready. There are full day and half day camps, so choosing the right length for you and your preschooler is important. The location of the camp, the staff, the cleanliness of the place, logistical transportation options, and of course the cost are all factors that need to be taken into account when deciding whether your child is ready for summer camp.

In NSW, be prepared for massive increases in child care fees, between $20-$30 per day, from1 jan 2010, after the state government reduced carer to child care ratios in the babies room. http://www.jilys.com.au

Not sure i would like my children to go to camp for a even 2 or 3 days as i would miss them too much. But it is a great idea and i suppose a great way for children to not get as attached to their parents, and would make leaving in the future much easier. Good post. From Stuart at Bolton Nurseries

I’m A student doing a research project on the effects of daycare. If you have experienced daycare please fill out my quick survey. It is a private survey, and I will have no way of contacting you once the survey is complete. This would help me a lot.

Preschool summer camps can be a great idea to help get your son or daughter ready for preschool, and get used to you not being there every moment. I recently placed my child in skyhawks youth summer camps and they loved it.
