Child Day Care Philosophy

The focus of the Before and After school program is the education of social skills. The before-school program provides a warm welcome to the school setting. Caring supervision and materials are provided so the child can play quiet games, do homework or read, use art supplies and talk with friends. They are welcome to bring breakfast to eat (no food will be provided in the morning). Each morning there is a short time for outdoor play in nice weather or games indoors in bad weather.

In the after-school program the daily schedule provides a balance of active and quiet activities in individual, small group and large group settings. Child-initiated and adult-directed activities occur indoors and out. Milk or juice is provided each day at snack time. Parents are encouraged to provide nourishing snacks that encourage healthy choices. Occasionally, the children make their own snack as part of a nutrition activity. If your child requires a special diet please send a snack from home. The mixed age grouping of children in each school fosters the development of initiative, leadership, responsibility, cooperation and respect for others. It mirrors a family or neighborhood play situation.
