Summer Nursery School

The Summer Nursery School is for children ages 3 – 5.  The goals of the program are to better acclimate the children to a group setting similar to one they will face in a school setting.  The children will go through an abbreviated school day where they will have the opportunity for free time, time outdoors on the playground, music and story time, and snack time.  The program runs Monday – Thursday from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM at Floyd Bell Elementary School in Kirkwood.

Sign – Ups for the Summer Nursery School Program will be held in the 3rd week of June from 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM in the Kirkwood Town Hall.  Check out the main page of the website for updates.

Summer Fun Arts & Crafts

The Summer Fun Arts and Crafts Program is a Kirkwood – Conklin joint program designed for children in Kindergarten – 5th Grade.  The children are able to work on a variety of projects that will be pre-determined by the instructors.  They will also have a designated time outside (weather permitting) to play games or use the playground if desired. Children are asked to bring a bagged lunch.  The program runs Monday – Thursday from 9:00 AM – 1:00 AM at Floyd Bell Elementary School in Kirkwood. 

Sign – Ups for the Summer Fun Arts and Crafts Program will be held in the 3rd week of June from 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM in the Kirkwood Town Hall.  Check out the main page of the website for updates.
