School Age Program
Arena's school-age program goes way beyond "aftercare." We continue our curriculum-based approach to learning and fun, helping children succeed in school. Homework help, intriguing projects, computer time, outdoor play and fun with friends make time go fast.
Our Jump Start Explore before- and after-school programs and Out Of School Adventures are designed to support your child's physical, cognitive, language, social and emotional development. The fun continues year round, and so does the learning. Our children to staff ratio is 12:1. This allows for more individual homework help and instruction.
Arena prides itself on enhancing learning readiness. For this reason, children are expected to participate in daily circle activities, art projects, learning centers, and large motor activities – we try to go outside to play on the playground equipment each day, weather permitting. In this way, children are accustomed to attending and participating in learning activities throughout the days.
Arena provides a thorough learning curriculum designed to prepare the children for the future. Our method is experiential learning whereby the children's curiosity leads them through the lesson plans. The approach is well suited for vision of "Enhancing Learning Readiness". It also follows the components of a science experiment. Hypothesis, Observation, Findings, and Analysis.
Teachers keep open lines of communication between themselves and their children's parents and guardians. A daily "All about my day" sheet is completed by the teacher to let parents know how their child's day was and what activities their youngster participated in. Weekly and monthly calendars are prepared to inform parents of weekly themes and special events. Additionally, teacher/parent conferences are scheduled to share individual academic and social progress with parents.
We hope the information gives insight into Arena Early Learning Center's School Age Program. If you have additional questions or would like additional information, please email or call us.
