OUT OF SCHOOL CARE
FULL DAY PROGRAM
Monday to Friday 7AM-6PM
Activities are age-appropriate for 19 months to 6 year old. We meet the needs of individual children and the group as a whole. Our program curriculum is Flight inspired. Parents can find more information about Flight here.
Our program will be separated by ages toddlers (19 months to 3 years) and preschool (3-6 years).
Childsplace will provide breakfast and 2 snacks. Lunches are provided by the parents currently.
Parents can chose to have their child come part time rather than full time. Part time is defined as 2 full days or 5 days for 4 hours/day. Parents wanting different days will need to discuss with the Area Coordinator.
Equipment and activities will be advanced to facilitate higher levels of success within the center, taking into account the skills of individual children. Children will have free choice play of all available centres, and will be limited in group size in centres where appropriate. Activities will be added to stimulate the children's own natural curiosity, and thereby facilitate a natural process of learning.
Art activities will focus on increasing the children's fine motor skills, while encouraging them to experiment with different mediums, textures and colours, and encourage their creative expression. Introducing cutting and gluing, to ripping paper, building collages, painting and much more.
Gross motor activities will focus on improving the children's awareness of their body and how it moves through space (kinesthetic and spatial awareness), the development of spatial concepts (over, under, behind, beside, etc.) improving their gross motor control and developing hand-eye coordination.
Group time activities will introduce age-appropriate songs, stories and finger plays and also develop the children's skills in turn taking with the inclusion of cooperative games, the time limited to that of the children's attention span. Pre reading and math skills will be enhanced by lots of practice with calendar, letters of the week, fun work sheets and positive interactions with teachers.
Hands-on science, math and language activities will be provided daily, with a balance of class discussion pertaining to their interests and levels of understanding.
Focus will be put on language and pre-reading skills, and development of fine motor skills in readiness for printing.
We will also focus on Emotional and Social skills, helping the children to learn all about themselves, individually and within the group, as well as improving their social awareness.
