The summer is wrapping up and the sites are down to their last couple of field trips. The children from Shadow Hills went to Board & Brush where they used stencils and paint to create cute candy signs. Everyone was so proud of their finished product!

The Reuseum in Boise is an electronics surplus supply store, recycling hub and educational center. They say “We’re big into taking the mystery & magic out of how technology works. From our “infamous” Deconstruction Labs to 3D printing, we’re all about offering hands-on workshops to minds of all ages!” Several of the JFK sites are doing field trips to the Reuseum this summer. The children from Lowell made Doodle Bots on their field trip. So much fun (with some learning mixed in)!

Just because we don’t have swim trips this summer, doesn’t mean that the kids can’t get wet! The JFK sites are incorporating onsite water days that may include games and sprinklers. Here the the children at Lowell play Drip Drip Splash, a wet and wild version of Duck Duck Goose.

Each week, the JFK sites have a theme that they build their activities around. The children at Cynthia Mann recently learned about bees. They made hives and bees out of clay and learned about how many different types of bees and wasps there.

At the Boise Urban Garden school, the children from Lowell JFK learned about plants, bees and best gardening practices. They helped water plants, played in the dirt and did the log obstacle course. It was so much fun they didn’t want to leave!

Summer at Just For Kids means lots of time outside. This includes active play and also time to relax and connect with a friend.

Summer field trip fun continues! The children at Garfield JFK enjoyed a beautiful day at the MK Nature Center.

The temperatures the first week of our summer program got a little hot! Who knew the beginning of June would reach 100 degrees? But the kids at Cynthia Mann JFK enjoyed their field trip to the Foothills Learning Center. The nature walk was a bit warm but they enjoyed exploring the shady areas.

We have wrapped up the first week of our summer program at Just For Kids and also our first field trips of the summer. We are feeling fortunate that we are able to do field trips this year. The children at Shadow Hills JFK visited the Old Idaho Penitentiary. They enjoyed learning some Idaho history and decided they would not have wanted to be an inmate!

The E in STEM stands for engineering. The children at Lowell JFK tried their hand at using Legos to do some engineering. One boy made a working draw bridge and a couple of others made a track for their marble.

Coding is defined as “The act of writing code that is compiled to form programs, that can be executed by a computer or a code reader, and that has a specific function or set of functions.” The children at Valley View JFK spent a week learning the basics of coding. They tried to code everything from bells, to circuits, to mice.

Today is Child Care Provider Appreciation Day. At Just For Kids, we are fortunate to have an amazing staff of child care providers. They are dedicated to making sure that children have a safe, fun and educational space on a daily basis. We appreciate all you do!

It’s Teacher Appreciation Week and the children at Shadow Hills wanted to let the teachers know how much they (and all the other school staff) are appreciated. They wrote thank you notes and drew pictures to welcome everyone to school this morning.

Valley View Just For Kids will be closed this summer while construction is completed on the new school. But they are excited to be back this Fall in this amazing new space!

ℋ𝒶𝓅𝓅𝓎 ℰ𝒶𝓇𝓉𝒽 𝒟𝒶𝓎! Earth Day began 51 years ago as a way to bring attention to the need to take care of our planet. Several of our sites have been discussing ways to reduce, reuse and recycle this week.

The children at Valley View were tasked with trying to clean up an oil spill in the “ocean”. They tried several methods to determine which would clean the water the best. It was the coffee filter that proved most effective!

[04/23/20]   The JFK staff are missing all the children at our sites. Mr. Will at Whitney made this awesome video with pictures from his site to show us all the fun times that have been had and to serve as a reminder that we will have more fun when we can come back together!
