PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The goal of the CKids After School is for children to enjoy participating in songs, games, incentives, arts and crafts, celebrations, and other exciting co-curricular activities so that they leave each day with positive feelings and fond memories in a safe, caring and warm Jewish environment. A variety of age-appropriate supervised games, sports, arts and crafts, and enrichment opportunities will be offered, as well as healthy snacks and dinner, scheduled homework/study/reading time and opportunities to socialize with peers.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
- That loving, trusting, and respecting each child makes that child capable of loving, trusting and respecting others.
- That each child should be guided and encouraged to have a positive self-image.
- That children need a nurturing, safe and happy environment which promotes their natural curiosity and desire to learn.
- That children explore the world around them by using their senses.
- That children should have creative teachers that encourage self-expression in a safe and nurturing environment.
- That our educators serve as role models, to encourage the children to respect one another
