How can your child beat the summer heat productively?

School is officially out and the children are more than ready for their summer vacation to begin. And while vacation time calls for fun, fun, fun --- wouldn’t it be nice if the kids also spend their summer productively? So as the country’s temperature start rising, Play House Children’s Center & B.R.I.G.H.T. Academy is happy to announce that they are now accepting applications for this year’s Summer Workshop 2011!

The workshop will kick-off on May 4, 2011 and will run for the whole month of May depending on the kind of class and their respective schedules.

What are the programs to look forward to?

We are off to a great start for this summer with a myriad of fun and educational courses. Year after year, the school continues to offer a variety of courses that are ever popular every summer.

• Play Group – Start them young! While most toddlers and pre school kids are used to having their own free playtime, some structured games & activities offered in the play groups may just be the change they need. Children who are ½ years old to 4 years old can enroll in the Play Group class that’s being offered at B.R.I.G.H.T. Academy in Banilad and at My Playroom in SM & Ayala.

• Basketball, Football Clinic, Baseball Clinic, Taekwondo and Swimming – These courses are the all-time favorites of the kids who are hyper-active and enjoy the adrenaline rush. After all, playing sports through these athletic classes is an avenue for them to learn and apply values such as sportsmanship, leadership and teamwork into their lives.

• Arts & Painting, Music and Modern Dancing– Help your kids fuel a lifelong interest in art, music and dancing. These classes encourage confidence and support the artistic potential of the kids.

• Reading & Penmanship– This course is essential because it helps the kids to learn attention to details, polish their fine skills and most importantly, can be a gateway to good reading skills. What your kids will learn in this class will play a critical role in training their brain.

As if those courses aren’t enough, the school is also bustling with new and exciting courses such as:

• School of Rock: Guitar Lessons for Kids– Enrolling your kids to this guitar course is one way to ensure that their natural urge to learn playing guitar is encouraged. They will get to study practical application of contemporary music with Randy Pages & Arnold Ang of RM.202 School of Guitar.

• Junior Master Chefs for Kids & Teens– Culinary Arts isn’t just confined for the grown-ups. Chef Lor Torres from A.I.C.A. and Chef Marina Codina from Mooon Café will take care of your Junior Master Chefs by teaching them the basic skills, safety, food preparation and all that. Through this course, the kids will look at cooking in a whole new light – that it can be quite creative, full of discovery and a whole lot of fun!

• Junior Journalists– Journalism is a field which requires various skills for a tough and challenging exposure. Through this course, Section Editor & writer, Jigs Arquiza will expose kids as young as 8 years old on what it’s like to be a real journalist. What niche would the kids want to occupy? A travel reporter? Sports writer? Let them explore for themselves as they make their own 8-page magazine!

• Junior Scuba Divers– Enthusiastic scuba diver parents or those who feel that their kid loves the water will be happy to know about this course. Let the kids explore and have fun underwater while learning the basic safety skills of scuba in the comfort of a pool under the guidance of a PADI instructor and Jimbo Sarte of FEEL DEEP Scuba Diving.

• Everything French – It has been said that kids can absorb things such as learning a new language like a sponge! So in partnership with Alliance Francais – Cebu, kids can enjoy while learning the French language with games, songs, drawings and more. While teens, aside from the language, can discover French culture, fashion, music, art and more!

• 4-day Outdoor Adventure– With the our friends from TALIMA, kids from 10 to 25 years old can have an outdoor adventure weekend with boot camp types of activities that build SELF-RELIANCE, BUILD TEAM SPIRIT and CAMARADERIE. 2 days will be spent camping at BRIGHT Academy while 2 days will be spent at TALIMA Adventure & Water Park.
