Summer Camp in Murrysville, PA
Summer should feel fun for kids, but parents still need dependable care that fits real work schedules. At Children’s Learning Ladder, our Murrysville summer camp for kids gives children ages 12 months to 6 years a safe, active, and engaging place to spend their summer days. Our early childhood summer camp combines full-day care with outdoor play, themed activities, water days, arts and crafts, science exploration, and plenty of opportunities to socialize with other children. Plus, with extended hours from 7:00 AM to 5:45 PM, small groups, and experienced teachers, we help families keep summer both practical and memorable.
Full-Day Summer Care for Working Families
Summer schedules can create a real challenge for working parents, especially when regular preschool programs or school-year routines change. Our summer daycare in Murrysville is designed to give families a dependable weekday option without sacrificing the learning, structure, and personal attention young children need.
We remain open during full center hours, Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:45 PM. That gives parents a reliable place for their children to spend the day while maintaining a consistent routine that can make summer transitions easier.
Our summer program is built specifically for younger children, so the activities, supervision, and daily schedule are all age-appropriate. We do not offer overnight camping or programs for older youth and teens, which allows us to stay focused on early childhood needs.
A Summer Filled With Hands-On Fun
Young children learn and connect best when they are actively involved. That is why our preschool summer camp in Murrysville, PA includes a wide variety of activities designed to keep kids moving, creating, exploring, and interacting throughout the day.

Outdoor Play in a Secure, Fenced Environment
Physical activity is an important part of early childhood, and summer gives children even more opportunities to get outside and move. Our center features a secure, fully fenced outdoor play area designed with young children in mind.
Outdoor time helps support coordination, gross motor development, confidence, and social interaction. It also gives kids a chance to run, climb, play games, and enjoy fresh air in a supervised environment. Water days and outdoor activities add even more seasonal fun to the program. These experiences help children stay active while creating the kind of summer memories parents and kids both enjoy looking back on.
Small Groups With Experienced Early Childhood Teachers
Large group programs can feel overwhelming for toddlers and preschoolers. Our toddler summer programs in Westmoreland County are intentionally built around smaller group sizes so children can receive more direct attention from experienced, state-qualified teachers.
Our staff understands the developmental needs of young children and how to keep them engaged without overstimulating them. Teachers can provide encouragement, redirect activities when needed, and help children build social skills through guided play.
That personal attention also helps children feel more secure. For many families, knowing their child is with familiar, caring adults makes the transition into summer care much easier.
Keeping Kids Social, Active, & Engaged
Summer break can quickly become a season of screens and irregular routines if children do not have enough structure during the day. Our early childhood summer camp gives kids a chance to stay connected with peers while continuing to build social, emotional, and physical skills.
Group activities encourage cooperation, sharing, communication, and participation. Creative projects help children express themselves, while science and sensory activities give them hands-on opportunities to experiment and explore.
We do not try to make summer feel like a traditional classroom. Instead, we keep children learning naturally through play, movement, conversation, and discovery.
