Our innovative before and after school program offers age appropriate activities for every child. Watch your child improve problem solving skills through science experiments and express themselves through dance, music, and musical theater. Our children advance academically and socially as they step through targeted activities while building social skills and friendships.
School Age Program
Academics
Research shows that participation in high quality afterschool programs influences academic performance. Our teachers plan curriculum based on the child’s interests and have focus weeks during breaks in the school year. Academics are taught by incorporating fun and engaging educational activities.
Technology
Our afterschool program provides state of the art computers so that our children have the opportunity to learn using different media. We provide educational software which includes academic support and educational games. Our students are able to research information that they are interested in and use computers for completing their homework.
Teachers monitor computer use and provide educational support in learning technology.
Sculpting
School-age children learn about a variety of media, explore the three-dimensional form, and discover different ways to work with textures by engaging in hands-on sculpture making activities. They create simple human and animal forms by working with soft modeling clay.
Our children also construct complicated forms and work with materials such as metal wire, wood, and glue.
Homework Club
Our Homework Club offers children the opportunity to work on their homework in a quiet and supportive environment. We have qualified teachers to help guide and answer any questions that children may have. Each child has their own desk and works in small groups to ensure adequate attention from our staff.
Robotics
Our program uses the LEGO robotic kit which enables students to discover science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a fun, engaging, and hands-on way.
Robotics offers many benefits for students:
- They learn a basic but strong understanding of the functionality of robotics.
- They develop creativity and problem solving skills while learning important mathematics and science concepts.
- They learn to improvise and create new ways of building and programming existing robots.
- They become more skilled in communication, organization, and research which helps prepare them for future success in higher levels of schooling and in the workplace.
- They learn to work cooperatively and communicate effectively in small groups to achieve a specific goal.
- They gain confidence in science, math, and technology related subjects.
