FAQ:
How do I register?
Please fill out the registration and waiver forms and return with full fee or $150 deposit to hold your child's spot. Full fees are due by June 1st.
What is your refund policy?
Cancellations that are communicated more than three weeks prior to the start of the group can be refunded, less a $25 administrative fee. Cancellations that are communicated between June 2 and June 26 can be refunded, less a $50 administrative fee. If we do not get sufficient enrollment to hold the group will be offered the option of a full refund. After the second day of group no refunds will be given.
Who is on the staff?
All participants will interact with Amy, a registered and licensed occupational therapist. Exceptional high school and/or college interns interested in attending occupational therapy school may be accepted to assist staff.
What should my child bring/wear to group?
Pegasus provides all the equipment and materials for group activities. All you need to provide is a child who is ready to have fun! Children should dress for that day's weather. Water shoes like Keanes are acceptable, but please avoid Crocs or flip flops for footwear. Since we will spend daily time outside and will be doing many hands-on activities, please do not dress your child in any clothes that you do not want to get dirty. You may wish to apply sunscreen or insect repellent, or send these items with your child. A hat and/or sunglasses may also be useful.
Do you provide lunch?
Our cooking activities include food items that the children can eat as a small snack, however we do not provide a full lunch. If your child would benefit from some additional calories during the day, please pack additional snack items. We have a fridge available for lunches, and we require parents to send a lunch and snacks. PLEASE AVOID NUT BASED FOODS. This includes peanuts and all tree nuts. Please clearly mark your child's name on all items he/she brings to the group.
Pegasus is dedicated to creating a safe environment, but please be aware that all group activities involve some risk, and, by registering for a group, there is an assumption of risk made by the participant.
What does your daily schedule look like?
9:00 - 9:30 – Welcome/Warm-ups.
9:30 - 10:30 -- Monkey Time. (Includes structured core exercises 3 out of 5 days)
10:30-11:30 Outdoor/Nature play (weather permitting)
11:30-12:30 -- Lunch/Manners/Cooking.
12:30-2:30 -- Arts & Crafts or Science, or Music (may be outdoors as weather permits).
2:30-3-- Wrap Up.
We allow for some unstructured play time with adult facilitation as necessary to help build motor planing skills (including ideation, communicating the idea to peers, following through and completing activities).
Is this therapy?
Summer Days Group is a therapeutic environment, with careful scaffolding to build independence but the ratio will not be 1:1 and this is not intended as a replacement for ongoing occupational therapy. At the end of your child's time at group our occupational therapist can help guide you to decide if further individualized intervention is necessary.
What if my child is outside the age range listed?
Please call 571-775-0134 to discuss if your child is developmentally appropriate for this group. If there is strong interest for ages outside the range listed we will make every effort to get staff to support their participation.
