🚀✨ Space Week was out of this world at Summers at Salem! ✨🚀
This week, our campers blasted off into an exciting adventure through space! They had fun exploring spaceships, working in mission command centers, and suiting up as astronauts ready for liftoff. 🌎🪐⭐
Our young scientists and artists created telescopes, UV space bracelets, and mesmerizing galaxy sensory jars. Their creativity shined through art projects including splatter paintings, foil-painted moons, and beautiful Starry Night-inspired masterpieces inspired by Vincent van Gogh.
💦 Wednesday was a camp favorite as we cooled off during our fun-filled Water Day, packed with laughter, splashes, and plenty of summer memories!

🎨 ✨ First week of camp: DONE! ✨ 🎨
What an amazing start to our summer! ☀️
This week, campers explored the lives and masterpieces of Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, creating collages, canvas paintings, sculptures, puppets, shape art, and more. Their creativity was on full display all week long!
We kicked things off with team-building activities, water play, and plenty of opportunities to make new friends. When rainy weather arrived, campers enjoyed time in our sensory room and rode their bikes through our homemade indoor car wash—a camp favorite!
Thank you to all our campers for a fantastic first week. We loved watching their imaginations soar and can’t wait for what’s next...
🌎🚀 Next stop: SPACE WEEK! 🚀🌎
Get ready for rockets, planets, stars, astronauts, and out-of-this-world adventures!

☀️ First day of Summers at Salem is in the books! ☀️
Our campers kicked off the summer with a day full of creativity, exploration, and fun!
Our younger campers enjoyed outdoor play in the mud kitchen, splashing at the water table, and blowing bubbles with friends. They also learned about the artist Picasso and created their own unique Picasso-inspired masterpieces! 🎨
Upstairs, our older campers focused on teamwork and cooperation through fun team-building activities, including potato sack races and collaborative block-building challenges. They also created beautiful handprint art on hanging canvas to commemorate the start of an exciting summer together. 🖐️🌞
We can’t wait to see what adventures the rest of the summer has in store!

Today was our preschool all-school picnic at Beese Park! Even with the chilly spring weather, the Salem community came out to spend time together. Friends played on the playground, enjoyed outdoor games, had their faces painted, flew a kite through the windy afternoon and enjoyed a visit from the Salem gem fairy 🧚
It was so special seeing our school community together making memories, laughing, and enjoying time with one another. 💙🪁🌷
Congratulations class of 2026 🦋
What a blessing it has been to have watched you learn and grow! Now-go do big things 💜

This past Sunday we celebrated the 12 graduates of Salem Methodist Preschool!🎓
Watching these children learn, grow, and gain confidence has been such a blessing. Some of our students have been with us since they were just 2 years old, and now they’re heading off to kindergarten!
We are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished and the friendships they’ve made along the way. While we are sad to see them go, we know they are ready for their next big adventure. 💛
Wishing our graduates so much happiness and success as they begin this exciting new chapter!

Rainy days can still be full of fun and imagination! ☔🚗
Today our preschoolers got to play in their brand new homemade car wash made from recycled wood and cardboard. We added pool noodles inside and painted bubbly “soap” all around to bring it to life. The children drove their bikes and cars through the car wash and had so much fun pretending, creating, and exploring together.
Hands-on imaginative play like this encourages creativity, social skills, problem solving, and teamwork — all while having a blast! 🫧🧽🚲
