Homework

An integral part of the Kid Zone Program is to provide students with the opportunity to work on homework assignments or other academic activities. The Kid Zone Program supports each child as he or she accepts the responsibility of completing homework assignments. Our staff provides guidance and encouragement to the children during he homework/study time while serving as resources for learning.

We do "quiet time" 5 days a week for 20 minutes in Clubs to be used for homework or reading. This is in addition to the homework area that is available all day.

Clinics

Clinics are educational activities focusing on an individual theme or subject that lasts for 45 minutes a day for a whole week. The clinics are planned and taught by our enthusiastic and well trained staff.  These clinics are free and only open to children registered at Kid Zone. The staff-developed clinics provide children with several choices each week.
 

Enrichment Clubs
Younger Kids Club is a fun and interactive club where kindergarteners and first graders can enjoy games and activities geared towards their needs. Younger Kids Club also provides a variety of enriching centers for the kids that teach skills while they play.
Our Middle Kids Club is the place to be for 2nd &  3rd graders. We offer a good mix of both active and quiet enriching activities planned and prepared specifically for this age group.
Older Kids Club is the opportunity for kids in the 4th and 5th grad to interact solely with kids their own age in an atmosphere with age appropriate centers, games and activities.

 Centers

 Our goal for centers is to provide a choice of enriching activities in a planned, structured environment. Centers are normally child directed that teach and develop skills for making choices and accepting responsibility.

As an enrichment program, Kid Zone believes that play is an incredibly important medium of learning. Our staff develop themed lesson plans that focus on play experiences that enable children to develop and accumulate their own knowledge. The following are a few examples of what children are learning at our centers on a daily basis.

  • Creative Play: Developing mobility of thought and practicing cooperation

  • Reading and Listening: Developing language skills and story comprehension

  • Drawing and Painting: Developing hand-eye coordination and good self-concept

  • Patterns and Magnet Boards: Developing classification skills

  • Math: Following mental plans and problem solving

  • Science: Making generalizations about the properties of various objects

  • Developing gross motor skills and learning how to take turns

  • Board games: Learning how to follow rules, problem solving and working with others.

Centers are available before, during and after Clubs
