Summer Discovery
SSDS is excited to soar through SUMMER
with play and exploration through stories and books!
Summer Discovery Registration is now closed.
Summer Discovery 2023 will run for a total of 6 one week sessions. Each themed week we will explore books and stories with fun movement, community-related educational activities including games, art projects, songs, friendly interactions, outside adventures, and open-play creativity.

To promote creativity and learning, we have designed each weekly session with a focus on different book and story themes.
As we listen to stories, imagine the possibilities of places to explore and the adventures to go on. Will you travel to the moon in a rocket made for one or two? Ride a unicorn or maybe a dinosaur? Is it raining? Are there rainbows? Who will you meet? The possibilities are endless, just use your IMAGINATION!
Elmer the Elephant, Ferdinand the Bull, Colorful Chameleon, Carmela Full of Wishes......what brave character will you be? Or maybe you will be your own courageous self? How will you harness your courage and others courage, too? Listen and play along while we enjoy stories of brave characters near and far.
Can't wait to spread love and joy? How will you make a difference in someone's day? Will you share a smile, a wave, or will you make a picture for a friend? Come explore stories with us to find out the many ways to share love and kindness in the world! And let's have fun coming up with our own creative ideas, too!
Journey along with us as we make new friends and grow friendships with current friends. There are so many heartwarming stories about friendships and the beauty of cherished friendships. We can't wait to be super friends with you!
Making friends -- even better -- working together with friends! Can't wait to team up to collaborate, build, create, and solve problems. The more we get together the happier we will be!
Come explore emotions alike and take notice of your friends' emotions! Are they sad? Are they happy? How do you feel? The same? Different? Let's feel all the feels and journey together to explore stories about being compassionate and empathetic. Can't wait to celebrate all of us and our feelings!
