Kid's Korner

What are we?

Kids Korner is a developmental child experience where children can learn while they play. Children have an opportunity for social, emotional, physical and mental development in a nurturing environment. Activities are individual and age appropriate.

HISTORY
In 1988 the Kids Korner Program opened for 15 pre-schoolers at Burr Park for its summer day camp program. The program is planned for children ages 3.5 to pre-kindergarten. It was designed to provide the child an enjoyable, safe and fun experience. Children are encouraged to develop a wide variety of skills. Today the program has evolved and services 35 children per week either; half day, full day or extended day.
