We began our School-Age program in 1990. An important quality of the program is the extended family atmosphere that exists for children both before-and after-school. Each child receives individual attention in the relaxed but active environment, with attention given to social needs as well as homework. Children in the School-Age program have the need to relax both before and after their busy day at school, complete assigned school projects with teacher assistance and pursue other activities of interest to them. The environment is designed to reflect the interests and capabilities of 5-12 year olds.
The School-Age program is designed to provide children time to play outdoors, interact with friends, explore creative arts, play games, work puzzles, and construct with various manipulative toys and blocks. In addition, the CEC staff recognizes that children need dedicated space, time and support for their daily homework assignments, and every effort will be made to insure that they receive these.
Goals for the children include:
- To help children learn to live a successful life with love at the center of all experience.
- To provide a program that allows children to develop in the areas of social, emotional cognitive and physical growth.
- To develop a positive self concept through social interactions that involve cooperation, conflict resolution and relationship building.
