Sewanee Children’s Center Offers Summer Program


The Sewanee Children’s Center (SCC) will offer half-day and full-day (8 a.m.–5 p.m.) weekly summer experiences June 3 through Aug. 2 for children from 18 months to 8 years of age. Sign up children for one or more weeks right away; discounts are offered for participation in four or more weeks. 

In addition to the summer program, SCC is now registering children for the 2013–14 school year. The school-year program begins on Aug. 12. Full-day child care is available for children from 18 months to 5 years old, and the after- school program is available for children ages 6 to 8.

The SCC’s teaching staff draw from developmentally appropriate preschool pedagogies such as Reggio Emilia, Montessori and Waldorf to provide a high-quality, child-centered and fun-infused approach to learning. While awaiting the renovation of its long-time home at Otey Parish, SCC is currently located in Lower Cravens Hall on Kentucky Avenue in Sewanee. The Children’s Center began in 1948. 

The center will host a nationally known family and children’s music act, “Farmer Jason” (Jason Ringenberg from Jason and the Scorchers) at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, May 4, in Upper Cravens as a fund-raiser for the Center. Mark the date on your calendar; there is advertising space available on the promotional items for this event. Contact Paige Schneider by email at <pschneid@sewanee.edu> about the May 4 performance.

For more information or to register a child for the summer or fall program, call SCC director Larry Sims at 598-5928 or email <sewaneechildrenscenter@gmail.com>.
