After After School
The After After School program for 34 second, third and fourth graders is open daily after
regular school hours and full time during school holidays and summer vacation. Because
these children are the oldest in the program, we offer adult supervision that is nurturing
and respectful but somewhat less intrusive.
Children of this age engage in activities which are more complex, longer in duration, more
challenging and which require more knowledge and skill. Some of these activities are team
and individual sports, hiking, overnight camping, creative writing, art and drama, gymnastics,
puppetry, a computer club and cooking projects. The children also become involved in a
variety of community activities, such as caroling, bake sales, holiday fairs, flea markets,
volunteer programs and community clean-up projects.
One goal if this program is to encourage a greater involvement with the democratic process
including the development of leadership, group interaction and self-discipline.
We nurture the development of meaningful friendships with peers and with adults.
Triple A’s
A new summer program for children entering fourth grade opened in the summer of 1990. This
group of 8 to 10 children have a special curriculum to enhance their skill level and
knowledge.
