SUMMER PROGRAM

Each Summer OWM offers a wonderful summer program. This program is open to all currently enrolled children. Our facility has extensive playgrounds, gym, and library. Each summer we choose a theme and then focus on the theme throughout the summer.
This year our summer theme was the Animal Kingdom. Our children were able to explore a new continent and the animals that inhabit them each week. They were equipped with a suitcase, different tickets for transportation, a map and a passport as they explored classrooms that were turned into a continent. At the end of each week the child would receive a stamp in their passport for that continent as well as creating a small craft of an animal on that continent.
