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 pre-schoolers, 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! |
