OLD HILL
CHILDREN'S DAY SCHOOL
Old Hill's preschool program includes a number of fun enrichment experiences in addition to the routine activities and comprehensive curriculum provided each day. During the current academic year, our children will enjoy the exciting programs listed below on a regular basis. From June through August, they also benefit from our outdoor/adventure focused Summer Camp!

Music for Children
Summer Camp
From June through August, Old Hill's children break from academic year routines to run, play and use their imaginations for up to 6 hours per day in our private playgrounds shaded by mature, leafy trees and far removed from highway/street noise. Bi-weekly themes, water play, outdoor reading, science, art and activity stations provide endless, joyful learning experiences and numerous opportunities for social, physical and cognitive growth.
See a small sample of our Summer Camp activities below!
Pirates & Mermaids
During this session, children work collaboratively together to build fun pirate ships out of boxes, embark on treasure hunts, dress up as pirates and mermaids, read pirate and mermaid books, have pirate snacks and participate in educational pirate themed games, arts and crafts! Pirate & Mermaids is one of our most loved sessions every year!
Free Play
In addition to theme activities, we provide an abundance of daily time to imagine, create, run, play and enjoy the outdoors which includes a large sand box, cascading water table, mud kitchen, play houses, costumes, climbing structures, slides, sports equipment, tricycles, reading nooks, art and science stations, sprinklers and more!
Plants & Gardening
Each summer our children love to plant flowers and herbs, care for them over the season and watch them grow. We read about plants and keep track of their height, see how heat can impact their need for water and sometimes witness damage done by critters such as chipmunks and rabbits on the hunt for their own food!
