Best Day Ever!

Ready-made lesson plans designed by teachers for preschool and school-age summer camps, after school activities, and days when school is out. Available at NO COST in Pennsylvania, these lesson plans are a turnkey solution for understaffed, under-resourced out-of-school-time providers. These lesson plans include a daily schedule and lots of hands-on activities using many things you already have in your supply closet. All lessons are aligned with PA learning standards and can be adapted to meet the needs and interests of individual students.

Best Day Ever! is brought to you by The Learning Lamp, a nonprofit organization based in Johnstown, PA that offers child care, preschool and school-age programs. The organization also offers a shared services hub to support child care providers at ecalleghenies.org

As a child care or youth-serving organization in Pennsylvania, these lesson plans are FREE. Out-of-school-time resources will be available starting Friday, September 6, 2024. In exchange, complete the survey link below for each lesson used in your program. When you complete a survey, you are automatically registered for a chance to win one of two $100 Amazon gift cards in March 2025. We’re excited to hear what you think!
