SCHOOL-AGE
PROGRAM
Kanata location only
As with the kindergarten program only more so, we
really encourage and guide the children at The
Children's Place in: decision
making, choices, conflict resolution, open discussion,
peer association, adult/child equality discussions,
freedom of expression, the right to be heard, listened
to and respected in this center.
|
Our School Age
program has the added opportunity for children to
move freely throughout the center choosing where
they would like to be. We have a variety of rooms
available for their choice. The
lounge area is one option where they can
enjoy a movie, or just to sit, relax and read. In
the rug room
they can enjoy challenging board games or other
cognitive skill activities. The
gym has co-operative games, and our computer
room has video, computer activities and games
for all levels and age-groups.
While we work on many skills, our goal in particular
with this group is on consequences of own action,
responsibility and self regulation. Our small youth
group is a benefit of and to the work we have done
with several of your children who have been with
us for several years. |

HOMEWORK CLUB AND TUTORING
While we do not accept the responsibility for homework
completion, the parents have the choice to register
their child in the homework club. In doing this,
all parties commit to a working relationship that
assists the child with homework, while at the daycare
centre. Tutoring has been and will be a part of
this club as and when required. Our staff are cognizant
of each child and in discussion with the parent,
it may be decided to bring a professional tutor
into our homework club from time to time.
TEN+ CLUB
Our ten+club are for children 10 and older. They
are learning, at this age to develop work ethics
and to work for compensation. The children involved
in this club are responsible for duties every day
such as; serve snack, plan a co-operative game,
help out in other programs from time to time. The
children plan their own day and work out the dynamics
of sharing. This promotes a sense of responsibility
and aids in the awareness and importance of peer
mediation.
COMMUNICATION
As changes occur we post information and, we entrust
the older children, as part of our life skill training
in our school-age program to pass on other information
to their parents. |
