Kid Summer Camp at Safari Kid

Give Your Child a Summer of Growth and Joy

Planning summer can feel overwhelming when you are trying to balance work, family schedules, and your child’s need for fun and learning. Our summer camp at Safari Kid Fremont - Warm Springs gives families near Brookvale, CA, a safe, engaging place for children to spend their days while school is out.

We design each camp day so children feel excited to arrive and relaxed when they go home. Our programs are created for preschool and elementary-aged children who need more than simple entertainment. We focus on building confidence, friendships, and a lasting love of learning.

As a global leader in early childhood education, we bring our research-driven, whole-child approach into every activity. When you walk into our center, you will see modern, nature-inspired spaces and caring educators who know children by name and greet families as partners.

What Summer Days Look Like Here

Parents often feel most at ease when they can picture what their child will actually do at camp. We follow a consistent daily rhythm that balances structure and flexibility. The result is a day that feels predictable enough for children to feel secure, yet open enough to allow for discovery and joy.

Mornings typically begin with warm welcomes and gentle arrival routines. Children have time to settle in, choose from inviting activities, and reconnect with friends and teachers. As the morning progresses, we shift into small group experiences that may include literacy games, math and science explorations, or creative projects that connect to weekly themes.

Outdoor time is a regular part of the schedule. Children might care for plants, participate in cooperative games, or enjoy open-ended play that builds gross motor skills and social problem-solving. We plan these blocks carefully so movement supports focus rather than leading to overstimulation. For younger children, rest or quiet time also has a place in the day.

Afternoons often bring more relaxed exploration, music or movement, and opportunities to revisit favorite materials. Our teachers use these times to deepen relationships and extend learning that began earlier. Whether a child is building a structure, painting, or participating in a group story, we look for ways to connect the experience to skills like communication, empathy, and persistence.

A sample summer day at our camp might include:

• Morning welcome, choice time, and community circle
• Hands-on projects that explore science, art, or culture
• Outdoor play with organized games and free exploration
• Lunch, rest, or quiet activities, depending on age
• Afternoon centers focused on music, building, or dramatic play
• End-of-day wrap-up and connection with families at pick-up

Children who already attend Safari Kid during the year experience summer as a familiar environment with a fresh rhythm. Children who are new to our school benefit from gentle introductions to routines and peers, guided by teachers who understand that transitions take time. In each case, our aim is for camp to feel like a second home.

How We Support Safety and Care

Trusting someone with your child for full days in the summer is a big step. We treat that responsibility with care. At our Brookvale center, safety and emotional well-being are woven into every decision we make about people, spaces, and routines.

Our teachers are trained in early childhood development, positive guidance, and appropriate supervision. They position themselves so they can see and respond to children, anticipate conflicts, and step in before small concerns grow. We work to create an atmosphere where children feel comfortable sharing their feelings and asking for help.

The layout of our classrooms and outdoor spaces supports safe exploration. Materials are organized at child height, and pathways are clear so children can move without unnecessary risk. We select equipment and supplies that are age-appropriate and monitor how children use them, adjusting as needed to keep experiences both stimulating and safe.

Consistent routines play a key role in helping children feel secure. We have clear arrival and departure procedures and predictable transitions between activities. Teachers prepare children for changes with simple cues and reminders, which is especially helpful for younger children who thrive on routine.

Health and care are part of our whole child framework. While specific procedures may vary, we focus on practices that support hygiene, rest, and emotional regulation. Our team pays attention to signs of fatigue, frustration, or overload, and we adjust schedules and expectations so children can regroup. Regular observations and assessments help us notice patterns and respond thoughtfully.

Above all, we strive to build strong, respectful relationships. When children know that adults see and value them, they are more likely to share worries, follow guidance, and take healthy risks in their learning. That relational foundation is a central part of how we think about safety.

Partnering With Brookvale Parents

We believe that the best summer experiences are created when families and educators work together. For us, communication with parents is not an afterthought. It is a daily practice that keeps you connected to your child’s camp day even when you are busy with work or other responsibilities.

Our team uses tools such as Procare to share updates, photos, and important information with families. These touchpoints help you see what your child is exploring and how they are growing, rather than leaving you to guess. We also share highlights through social media, so you can get a sense of the broader energy and projects happening in our community.

In-person conversations remain central. Drop off and pick up are times when teachers can share quick notes about a successful moment, a new friendship, or an area where your child might need extra reassurance. When a longer conversation would be helpful, we work with you to find a time to talk in more depth.

We also host family engagements that allow parents and caregivers to experience some of what children enjoy during the summer. These events strengthen the sense of community at our Brookvale location and give children a chance to feel proud as they share their work and favorite activities.

Getting started with camp is straightforward. You can reach out to our team to learn about session dates and availability, ask questions about your child’s needs, and schedule a visit to see the classrooms and outdoor spaces. During a visit, we encourage you to notice how children and teachers interact, since those relationships are at the heart of our program.

Our goal is for you to leave feeling informed and reassured, whether you are enrolling a returning student or choosing us for the first time. When you are ready, our team will guide you through the enrollment steps so your child is set for a summer of growth and joy.
