The Head Teacher arranges a system with school personnel to move the children from the classroom to the program safely and securely. Children gather in their assigned groups, and the afternoon program begins. The afternoon program and curriculum are designed to create an enriching, fun and educational environment. Children can join organized games at this time or elect to have free play. Teachers follow a lesson plan that incorporates a variety of engaging activities and techniques that foster academic, problem-solving, critical thinking and team building skills.
Children choose to participate in different clubs or activities.
These clubs and activities are facilitated by staff members and can include cooking, chess, computers, recreation, craft projects, movies, storytime, free play, dance and more. Special guests, such as karate experts, are often in attendance on club days. In the middle school program, we address the needs of the whole student and their families. We offer a summer camp for middle school students. During the past two summers, we offered tutoring to students who might otherwise be retained.
