Inspire Kids
Summer Program
Hi, we are a local and privately-owned physical therapy office in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Being a small group of working moms, we noticed the need of childcare services in our community especially during the summer months. We want to expand the access to high-quality summer programs for families as we recognize the access to these opportunities are not equal or available in our community.
By providing a summer program in our area, families can give their children a great learning experience without the financial stress. We will be providing children with a place to develop socially, physically, emotionally and cognitively through creative play, STEM, art, wellness, and outdoor experiences.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to provide a nurturing environment that allows each child to explore their creativity and individually through play-based learning. We encourage self-confidence, curiosity and creativity as well as assisting in the development of the child’s social and emotional health.
Weekly Themes
Each week will consist of a theme to engage kids in a new learning experience.
Health & Wellness Aligned

Creative Learning
Children will have fun using their imagination and creativity through our hands-on activities.
