They will have plenty of time to change before the show!

  • Every team member is background-checked
  • All of our teaching artists have prior teaching experience. 
  • The ratio of children to staff changes weekly because some camp themes are more popular than others. It also varies with the ages of students. Legally, we are required to have a 1:23 teacher/student ratio, but we aim for 1:15. There is always at least one experienced teacher in each classroom, no matter the number of students.
  • We use the Procare childcare app for all of our students. It is an app that allows parents to sign their students in and out using a personal code. When a parent arrives for pickup, they must sign their student out using the code before their child is brought to the front desk.

Please contact us to schedule an interview so we can discuss your child's individual needs and how we can best support them.
