Director's Message

Childhood is a short and precious time, and the joyful memories of summertime stay forever in our children's hearts.  Summer is for playing, sharing with friends, pursuing our dreams and feeling free.  At Conchita, we provide the perfect balance of play, sharing, dreaming, building, creating, and developing what we love.

Summer at CEA provides an eclectic offering of programs.  Whether your passion is dance or music or theatre or visual arts or scholarship, summer at CEA has a place for you.  Opportunities to stimulate creative thinking, social skills, artistic talents, and more are combined with the time to daydream, play games, celebrate friendships in the warmth of the sun and coolness of the shade; in short- to embrace everything that summer has to offer.

We're looking forward to a memorable time together.  We know your Summer at CEA will something you will want to experience again and again.  We are unique!

I look forward to a fun and enriching summer together!
