First Day of Fun in the Sun

We had a hot and sunny day for our first day of the summer!

In the field we played builders and bulldozers, I’ve got Mail, and water games to keep cool!

In crafts we had an artist teach us how to make a beach on a canvas!

In pick a project there was a lot to explore, including fishing, kinetic sand and bubble blowing!

See you tomorrow!

2025 Summer Themes, Trips and an Afternoon Opportunity at the Little Gym!

Hello Families,

We are excited to announce our schedule for the upcoming summer including weekly themes and trips! See the schedule below. Please note that while we usually try to have field trips on Thursdays and swimming on Fridays, we had to swap the swim / field trip dates for two weeks to accommodate field trip availability.

We also wanted to make sure families were aware of an afternoon opportunity offered by The Little Gym of Medway. They have an afternoon program that runs from 1:30-4pm from July 8th-August 21st. They are offering a special Sunshine Group discount! Instead of $30 per day, Sunshine Group Families can register for $20 a day as long as you enroll in at least three days – just make sure you mention The Sunshine Group when you register! The three days can be spread out across multiple themed weeks (You can either sign up for the whole themed week or pick and choose which 3 days of different themed weeks you want to attend). For more information, please see the flyer below (Please note: the special Sunshine Group pricing is not listed on the flier).
