SCHOOL-AGE CARE
Art Center -- The art center is a place for children to show their most creative artistic side. It is filled with materials appropriate for the skill level that will inspire your child to cut, glue, paint, color, design, and create masterpieces. Items such as tempera paint, glue, magazines, paper, glitter, feathers, smocks, and safety scissors are available for your child. Craft books in a basket in the art area also help students engage in meaningful creations on their own.
Board Games Area -- The board games area has both a shelf filled with board games that interest the children and several places for them to be played at a table with chairs, a low table with floor pillows, or perhaps even a rug on the floor for lounging and playing.
The Chill Zone -- The chill zone is an area for relaxation and relating to peers. It has comfy, school-aged children-sized furniture that encourages students to stop and "chill." Things like pillows, books and magazines, a sofa table for game play so conversation and relaxation abound here. A TV and VCR are used sparingly!
Book or Library Center --The book or library center is as important to school-age room as it is to our preschool classroom. It is a quiet area for your child to look at a variety of books that are in good condition and are age appropriate. The books are updated often enough to provide many choices. Age appropriate magazines are a favorite choice for school age students.
Technology Center -- This center has computers and printers setup for students to use in both group and individual activities as school enrichment. Just like our preschoolers, the after-school children sign in to educational games and we can keep track of their progress.
Drama Area -- Here we provide the opportunity, accessories, and space for students to use the expressive arts. Karaoke, acting, singing, and dancing might all be encouraged.
Transportation and Block Center --Your children learn spatial development, logical thinking skills, small motor skills, and get lots of practice interacting and playing in this popular center.
Homework/educational enrichment area --We provide a designated place for working on homework or other educational enrichment activities. Also on hand are word games and crossword puzzles. We even challenge your child with science projects and brainteasers!
