Elementary Summer Program

Entering 1st - 4th Grade

This summer Harborlight’s elementary program will provide a safe place for children, grades 1-4, to spend time with friends engaged in fun and meaningful experiences.

Teachers have been hard at work planning a variety of options for students centered around nature, physical activity, games and specialized content in topics such as Harry Potter, yoga, arts and crafts, creative drama and more. We also understand that many children need to retain or improve academic skills and will take time during the day to provide learning opportunities integrated into our programming.

Be assured that we are planning with the utmost concern for the health and safety of our students and staff. The Department of Early Education and Care has been guiding our program plans through this pandemic and will continue to do so throughout the summer. They have put in extensive measures for social distancing, disinfecting, and health and safety procedures that we will continue as directed throughout the summer.

Students will be required to wear a properly fitted face mask when unable to maintain 6 feet of social distancing. During drop off and pick-up, parents and guardians will not enter the school building and students will be screened daily to ensure they are free from Covid-19 symptoms. Group sizes will be small, and each group will have staff designated to one group only. Groups will not be combined at any point during the school day.

The program runs from the week of 6/29 to the week of 8/24. Weekly tuition is $350 for the program hours of 8:30 am – 3:00 pm. The week of June 29-July 2 is pro-rated to $280 due to the holiday observed on July 3rd. Extended Montessori is available for the added charges of $25 per day for 7:30 am – 8:30 am and $25 per day for 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm.
