School-Age
School-Age Program
For our school age students we have created an attractive, efficient and stimulating classroom so as to enhance and enrich learning in different subject areas and give our curious learners a beneficial learning environment. Our School Age classroom is a means for learning and the environment allows the children to explore, question and work both independently and within a group. Students are encouraged to take the lead, which builds confidence, initiative and the development of critical and analytical skills.
Our School Age Program prepares students for kindergarten by giving them an opportunity for topic-specific creations and explorations along with extended learning. Our program focuses on enhancing sensory and cognitive development of children through exercise and play and emphasis is on practices that create a family atmosphere and encourage living and learning as a family. Our School Age Program also involves after school kids, ages 6 to 12 years – Kindergarteners thru 4th graders. Our teachers help them with their homework and give them instruction in all the subject areas where they are facing difficulties in learning or need further explanation. We provide extra practice sheets in math and critical thinking to boost their thought process and give them self-confidence.
After School Enrichment Program
The After School Enrichment Program is more than an extension of the typical school day. Our child-initiated learning experience is fun and engaging for your child. We provide your child a nutritious snack and gym or outdoor time for some fun energetic play. We offer age appropriate choices, which allow your child to have so much fun they won’t even know they are learning. They are offered assistance with their homework completion, which allows for more family time at home.
