For parents of preschool-aged children, summer presents a unique set of challenges. Without the regular structure of the academic year, many working parents face what experts call the "summer care gap" – finding quality, enriching care options that maintain developmental momentum while providing the supervision necessary for working families.
We're nearing the end of the school year and celebrating our many academic and spiritual accomplishments.
Summer break traditionally represents a time of freedom and relaxation for students, yet educational research consistently highlights a concerning phenomenon known as "summer slide." During these extended breaks, students typically lose between 20-30% of their school-year academic gains in reading and mathematics. For parents who have invested in quality Christian education throughout the school year, summer presents both a challenge and an opportunity to maintain that educational momentum while reinforcing faith values.
