Summer 2025 activities

Squiggles & Wiggles Preschool

Plymouth School District Community Education & Recreation will offer Squiggles & Wiggles Preschool again this summer!

This fun introduction to school, taught by a DPI-licensed preschool teacher, is open to area potty-trained children ages 3 and 4 (at least 3 years old by June 1).

Squiggles & Wiggles coincides with Plymouth Summer School, meeting from 8:30 to 11 a.m. Monday through Thursday from June 16 to 26 and from July 7 to 17 (off the week of June 30) at Horizon Elementary School, 411 S. Highland Ave.

Register online via MyRec as soon as possible because enrollment is limited. Fee for the 4-week program is $230 until June 9 (then $240), which includes all supplies and snacks. NOTE: Squiggles & Wiggles is full, but you can join the wait list.

Families need to arrange transportation to and from preschool; busing is not available. If needed, Berry Branch child care is available before and/or after preschool for an additional fee.

Learn more:
• For registration questions, contact Community Ed & Rec at commedrec@plymouth.k12.wi.us or 920-892-5068.
• For program questions, contact teacher Shaunna Renzelmann at srenzelmann@plymouth.k12.wi.us or 920-892-2661 Ext. 3106.


Summer child care

Two age-appropriate programs are available:

  • Berry Branch: For children currently in 4K or 5K; at Horizon Elementary School
  • Extra Mile: For children currently in grades 1-4; at Fairview Elementary School

Care is available 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, except during the hours that Summer School is in session (i.e. 8-11:45 a.m. Monday-Thursday June 16-July 17), so that students may participate in that program.

There is a nonrefundable registration fee of $75/child for summer care or $150/child for summer and 2025-26 school year care. (Registration fees help offset costs so families are not charged for days missed because of illness, vacation, etc.) Hourly fees are $5 for Berry Branch and $4.50 for Extra Mile.

How do I register?

Existing childcare families:  Visit the Child Care section of MyRec and register each child for summer care or summer and school year, and pay the appropriate registration fee.

1. Create a MyRec account for your household, if you do not already have one.
