Kinder/School Age Program
The Kinder/School Age before and after school program will be an extension of the school day designed for children 4+ years old. The Kinder/ School Age full days (PA Day, March Break, Summer etc.) are structured similarly to our preschool day – allowing for morning and afternoon snack, lunch, art, sensory, outside and gross/fine motor activities.
Understanding the impact a full school day has on the children; our program provides a needed change of pace after the school day in a relaxed atmosphere. Our program provides opportunities to teach children how to make responsible decisions, how to manage risk and how to respond to conflict. Children have opportunities to engage in: structured and unstructured activities, co-operative games, brain teasers, crafts, free play, and outdoor play in order to satisfy the need for individual and active play.
The teacher/child ratio is 1:13 for Kindergarten and 1:15 for School Age.
