As Summer Program Director, you likely realize that a summer program provides a valuable educational opportunity for children, as well as many other benefits. Parents of your current students appreciate having the program available for their children, and see it as a valuable service.
A summer program is an excellent source of auxiliary income that lets your school extend its mission beyond the school year and to a greater number of students. It is a wonderful recruiting conduit as well, introducing your school to potential students and giving them a “taste” of what your school offers.
This book provides the guidance you need to streamline your program and truly provide a child-centered service that caters to families and their children.
