Holiday Child Care Changes

For the last several years, Brainerd Baptist School has been offering child care for our students over school breaks and holidays. While we are happy to provide this service to our parents, it can often be a challenge because parents HAVE to sign up early in order for us to properly staff the care. We often like to reflect on the various programs at BBS. This mindset is healthy because it affords the opportunity to make improvements that benefit our students. Mrs. Ateca has been working on making some improvements to how we do our holiday childcare, and I have asked her to share those changes in the post below.

Holiday Child Camp

Brainerd Baptist School is revamping the holiday childcare that we have offered the last few years into a new Holiday “Camp” !  We want our students to love coming to school even on breaks and holidays. Our hope is to provide an organized learning environment while not being every day school.  We are  preparing each of the holiday childcare sessions into a camp reflecting the holiday it surrounds.  We will plan activities with the holiday in mind creating festive surroundings and exciting activities for each child to enjoy.  Hopefully, this will make students excited to be here even when they don’t have a regular school day and parents need our help caring for their children. 

The first opportunity we will have for our new Holiday Camps will be over Thanksgiving Break - Monday and Tuesday, November 25th and 26th.  We will explore the holiday and why we have it each year.  We will also learn to set the table for a special meal and make a special Thanksgiving dish to try.  If you need to sign up for the camp, you may CLICK HERE.
