Our mission is to build an After-School Program that supports the social curriculum and uses developmentally appropriate materials with the children as reflected in the Responsive Classroom philosophy. We believe in building a caring community where children are understood, valued, and respected and where they learn to value and respect others. The Parent Council After-School Program is a creative, fun, and active program where children can engage in stimulating activities or play as they could at home. Service activities and field trips are exciting possibilities that will bring the students out into the community.
Children have choices and are an integral part of the planning process.
Our goal is to build an after-school community, based on the golden rule philosophy of the Center School, where children have fun, relax, and enjoy themselves in an environment that mirrors personal interest and needs. The Parent Council After-School Program was implemented by the Center School Parent Council to fulfill the growing need for a convenient, affordable, and dynamic program that would meet the needs of the Center School families. The program currently offers options for Wednesday After-School, Extended Day, and Vacation Camps. Vacation Camp information is available upon request. Jessica Larkin is the After-School Program care provider every day and Terry Plotkin administrates the program and is an additional care provider Wednesdays.
