Preschool Day Camp

Registration opens February 10—stay tuned!

Who it’s For

For kids ages 2.8 to 5 (as of June 2026).

Big Summer Days!

Our preschool day camp is full of joyful, curiosity-filled experiences. Children swim twice a week (for five-day campers) and spend their time creating art, splashing in water, making music, engaging in rich sensory experiences, and exploring Prospect Park.

Extended Care

Early drop-off starting at 8 a.m.
Extended day available until 5 p.m.

Back Again This Summer!

Each week, our ECC graduates will have the chance to dive into a new theme – art, sports, music, nature, or storytelling- guided by a specialist for hands-on, engaging experiences. Kindergarteners are welcome to join the Elementary Day Camp or Camp Kef Hebrew Immersion.

New This Summer

We are offering two extra weeks in August at our Prospect Heights location for rising 3s and 4s 

• Space is limited.
• Priority will be given to children who were enrolled in the previous six weeks of our program.
