No, children do not need to be toilet trained to attend.

5 year-olds entering kindergarten could register for either age group, but are encouraged to join the 5-8 year old group.

Families should send their children with sunscreen, snacks, lunch, and a water bottle.

Please label all personal items and food containers.

Friends or siblings who wish to be in the same group can register separately and email us to make requests.

Some weeks are popular and families are only able to register for a few days of that week. In that case, email us at afterschool@ready-set-kids.com to ask us to put you on our internal waitlist for those days.

For RSKids Club there is not. For RSKids Club Prep there is a minimum requirement of 2 weeks, all 5 days each week.

Campers are divided into small groups of 10 or so children. Each day the groups are presented with theme-related games and activities, dramatic play stations, and creative projects. After time for open-ended play, and then an enrichment class, groups will go outside to play at Spy Pond Park.

Yes, all summer camps are licensed by the Board of Health in Arlington.

There is a non-refundable $50 deposit for each week of camp that will be processed at the time of registration. Changes can be made until the Wednesday before your camp week before the remainder of the tuition is processed.

Note: the deposit will appear as an additional registration fee on the camp week, but prior to the camp week, the deposit amount will be deducted from the total camp tuition.

Camp groups will attend enrichment classes each morning in STEM, Spanish, and music & movement. There will be a rotation of classes that all children will take, and although schedules aren’t announced for each subject, rest assured, they are all fun and exciting options.

In STEM and music & movement, classes are kicked off with a story that ties to our weekly theme and then group games, activities, and experiments are conducted to explore new concepts, materials, songs and more. Classes will always have a creative outlet with a project or mini maker space station. For example, pirates will learn about buoyancy and what it takes to keep something afloat and will be challenged to build a boat to hold as many coins as possible; or junior rangers will learn about the amazing super powers or animals and may explore how some animals can camouflage by designing animal shells that can be hidden around the room; or our little astronauts may work together to build a geodesic dome so that they can live inside a building that has oxygen. What other things to do we need to live on another planet?

Spanish classes will aim to build basic second language production by providing groups with a set of theme related phrases and vocabulary to learn through songs, games, group activities, and a creative station. For example, pirates will go on treasure hunts to learn directional phrases like “up, down, left, and right”; astronauts will learn body part words by identifying alien features and drawing their own creatures; and little athletes will learn all about sports and movement words by moving through obstacle courses where they learn “jump, run, throw”, etc.

All of our classes are play-based and designed to foster a love of each subject for every child.
