A parent’s top concern in the summer months is ensuring that their child is happy, healthy, and, above all else, mentally engaged. Summer “brain drain,” also known as the “summer slumps,” is a common occurrence for children who spend their recess away from the books and glued to their computer or favorite video game console. The result is less-than-desirable academic performance once the school year resumes in the fall.

Young children will stay mentally sharp through summer and ready for the approaching school year with an enriching and educational summer adventure at FasTracKids / Eye Level Learning Center. New York City's top childhood development program now offers registration to their Summer Camp 2013 for young and curious minds.

FasTracKids / Eye Level Learning Center offers a variety of subprograms within the summer camp based on interests and age group, such as:

• FasTracKids Enrichment: 5 – 10 Year Olds

An eight week program to explore topics of science and arts that fascinate youngsters, such as global travel, theater magic, zoology, and outerspace.

• FasTracKids Explorers: 2 – 3.5 Year Olds

A program that runs from July to August, encouraging the youngest FasTracKids' students to interact with their peers through mingle and play, circle time, science lab, arts and crafts, and group reading.

• Academic Enrichment: 5 – 10 Year Olds

A math and literacy enrichment program that helps students through individualized instruction in mental math, critical thinking, reading comprehension, and writing ability.

For each of these programs, parents can register their child for individual one week sessions or save big by signing up for the entire eight weeks at a discounted rate.

With mentally stimulating activities and creative programs, children will safely and happily enjoy their summers without succumbing to the dreaded “brain drain.” Parents can learn about FasTracKids / Eye Level Learning Center’s distinctive childhood enrichment curriculum and the Summer Camp program in NYC by visiting the website or calling (718) 891-5437 for more information.
