Summer Program
LCYC typically holds two week of Summer Program in June. The program will runs from 9:15am to 1:15pm daily. More than one class may run per session depending on enrollment. If there is more than one class per session, they will be organized based on age, (i.e., 2-3s class and 4-5s class).
Registration & Fees
Registration opens for Summer Program in February. LCYC has a rolling enrollment process, therefore, students are accepted in the order registration forms are received. Once your registration has been processed you will receive an email confirming the weeks you registered for or notification of wait-list placement.
The Summer Program fee is determined each year when registration opens. Payment is due in full to reserve your child’s spot for each session. Payment may be made by credit card or bank transfer online (through Procare) or by check (payable to LCYC) or cash in person.
Summer sessions are run based on enrollment. If we cannot fill a scheduled week, a notice will be sent about cancellations in April. If LCYC must cancel a summer session due to low enrollment or other emergency or mandated closures, your registration fee will be refunded in full.
Withdrawal
Should you choose to withdraw your child, for any reason, after enrollment and prior to June 1, you will be refunded 50% of your registration fee. Late withdrawals on or after June cannot be refunded.

The Learning Center for Young Children summer program is for preschool children who have completed 2, 3 or 4 year old preschool classes this past school year. Children younger than 3 years of age must have prior preschool experience at LCYC or another program in order to be eligible to attend summer sessions. Children younger than 3 years old without prior preschool experience generally find it difficult to adjust to the routine of the large group with the several transitions from inside to outside and from activity to activity during the morning.
No co-oping is required for summer sessions. Weather permitting, about one-half of each summer session is conducted outside, providing a day-camp-like experience for the children. Each Summer Session focuses on a different science-related theme, and the daily program includes circle time, arts and crafts, cooking, table activities, water table and library time. Parents may wish to use sun screen on children to prevent sunburn. LCYC staff may not apply sunscreen unless parents send a note authorizing staff to do that. If it rains any day during the program, all activities will be conducted inside. If the weather is very hot and humid, activities may be conducted in LCYC’s air-conditioned classrooms.
