Pegasus is a six-week summer program for children of all abilities, ages three through entering sixth grade. Pegasus is located at one of the three elementary schools or at the Wayland Middle School, and this is announced several months prior to the start of the program. Pegasus has two three-week sessions and offers half and full-day options, with extended hours.

Preschoolers and kindergartners immerse themselves in a variety of play-based activities. Competent and dedicated early childhood educators are committed to making each child's experience a successful one. School-age participants explore a developing interest in a chosen specialty area.

We have programming for preschool and kindergarten as well as school-age children.
