SUMMER PROGRAM SCHEDULE

Additional Summer Enrichment Services

At RisingStars Childcare, we are committed to providing high-quality educational experiences tailored to each child's unique needs. To ensure a safe and secure learning environment, all our teachers, volunteers, and tutors undergo a Level 2 background screening and are DCF-approved before working with children during daycare hours.

During our Summer Program, we offer specialized enrichment services to support children's academic and developmental growth:

  • Math & Reading Tutoring (Grades K-5) – A licensed teacher is available to provide individualized tutoring in reading and math to strengthen foundational skills and build confidence. This service is available for an additional fee and offers personalized instruction tailored to each child's learning needs.

  • Speech Therapy (Ages 2+) – A licensed speech therapist is available for evaluations and one-on-one sessions to support speech and language development. This service requires prior sign-up and is offered exclusively during the summer.

These enrichment opportunities provide targeted educational support in a nurturing and engaging environment, helping children excel academically and socially. Spots are limited, so early registration is encouraged.

For more information or to enroll your child in these services, please contact us in advance to secure availability.
