Bring a change of clothing. This is good if any accidents happen. Your child does not need to be potty trained to join summer camp. If your child needs help in the bathroom/changed they will not be alone in the bathroom at any time with an adult. We require two adults to have supervision if it is not your own child for safety reasons.
Bring a snack and water bottle.
Try to limit toys from home.
Summer Camp Teacher
Hi! My name is Christine Miller. I found my passion for Early Childhood Education (ECE) when I enrolled my daughter at Ballard Preschool Co-op. She started in the Infants class and we grew and learned together all the way through the 3-5s class. When my second daughter was born, I enrolled her at the co-op too! When they both had graduated to elementary, I decided it was time to explore my next steps in ECE, and received my BAS in Early Childhood Education from North Seattle College in Spring 2021. I am so thankful to be an educator at Ballard Preschool Co-op, where I’ve found community, connection, and joy! It will be fun to bring that passion to the PNPC summer camps! My goal is to provide a safe and welcoming space where children can comfortably explore, grow and connect with others and the environment surrounding them. In my free time, I love to draw with my daughters, go on walks, read, go to coffee shops, try out new recipes, eat my favorite foods, and spend quality time with family and friends!
