Summer 2027 Camp Begins
“From the moment I drop my son off to when I pick him up I know he is in good hands with all of the staff and teachers at Christies. He is learning an abundance of new things, growing socially and emotionally, and having fun! I love that he is learning a lot through "play" within his classroom. The shows the staff put on are simply amazing! You can tell they love what they do and truly care about the children!”
Laura B.
