Our summer camps include daily activity options from crafts to sports to science. We provide two nutritious snacks and lunch daily.
Our weekly schedule includes field trips, special on-site activities, and a variety of themed clubs. Expect a mix of crafts, sports, music, cooking, dance, science, and games - all centered around our unique weekly themes. This year, CKC Campers will enjoy weekly special events and field trips. Special activities and trips may include: MB Aquarium, The Tech Museum, Rock Climbing Wall, Roller Rink, Movie Theater, Video Game Truck, Petting Zoo, and more!*

Field trips will include visits to local parks, museums, libraries, and hiking trails. And the fun doesn't stop there! Everyday we will organize a special event for the day like face painting, carnival games, magic show, and much more!
Kinder Exploration Camp- Children who have graduated TK and Kinder have a separate onsite program, Kinder Exploration Camp. Instead of field trips, we will have extra special on site events for our younger campers!

WPENS is a school for families. Since 1970, WPENS has been providing a sense of community that supports your whole family, valuable social skills for your child, learning through play and incredible parenting seminars and speakers. Our non-profit parent cooperative has been an integral part of Santa Cruz offering quality education to both child and parent.
You, as a parent, are able to support your child learning valuable life skills of sharing, conflict management, and cooperation. Parent or caregiver involvement in the school provides a higher adult to child ratio and a lower tuition cost.
Parents and caregivers gain parent education through seminars and speakers at meetings, and children gain experience at an amazing preschool.
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM
While parent education is the focus for the adult, learning through play is the work of the child. At WPENS, children freely choose from a variety of materials and play equipment depending upon their own interest, learning style, level of readiness and mood for the day. Allowed this freedom of choice, the child’s play can be free, spontaneous, vigorous and creative.
Hands-on learning engages children in developing their whole being allowing them to become capable and enthusiastic learners. The curriculum for children includes art, music, dramatic play, emergent literacy, science, math, social development and large & fine motor activities.
Our positive discipline philosophy teaches respectful and effective ways of promoting cooperation. The conflict resolution skills that children learn will help them in their relationships with other people in and out of school for the rest of their lives.
