Bilingual Summer Camp Opens in Queens

Yelena’s Day Care, a Russian-English bilingual preschool program that opened in Forest Hills five years ago, is now offering a summer camp for children ages 4 to 7. The camp, says owner Yelena Natanov, introduces children to the camp experience who are “not ready for the big camps.”

Yelena’s day care program teaches children ages 1 to 5 everything they need to know before entering pre-K or Kindergarten, Natanov says, including potty training. Both the day care and camp programs include Russian-American bilingual education.
