Our School-Age Program

Guiding children to experience their world and pursue their interests

Our school-age programs include before- and after-school care, back-up care for school holidays and school closing days, and summer day camp. We provide school-age children with the opportunity to live, learn and socialize in a relaxed setting outside of school.

We offer a wealth of enrichment activities that engage the interests of school-age children. You may find school-age children creating a magazine or a video, playing chess or shooting hoops, tutoring each other or forming a club. Teachers are there alongside, facilitating, guiding and understanding that learning does not have to take on the tone and texture of a school day but rather be filled with fun.

What Parents are Saying

Our greatest advocates are also our closest friends.

"Thank you all for your support and assistance this school year. We truly appreciate all the hard work you do with the challenges that each day brings. "

Learning at Home

Drums

You Will Need:

Empty oatmeal boxes or cans of different sizes

Directions:

Tap a rhythm on the box with your hands. Give a box to your child and he will probably copy you. See if your child can repeat a simple beat.

Tip:

Notice and comment on the difference in sound between sizes of boxes and/or cans. Make loud and soft sounds. “How did you make that so loud? Did you hit it hard or soft?”
