To support children in their school age years, King's Kids Before and After School program contains the following ingredients for success:
Teachers maintain a structure and routine for children in the Before and After School Program. Within the program children are given a choice of activities such as:
Children arrive at the center and are signed in by a parent. they are welcome by their teacher, hang up their coat and store their lunch and school books. As children arrive, they gather in the group area for breakfast. They remain in the common area until they board the bus for school.
Children are welcomed off the buses, then they store their coats and book bags and go to their designated classrooms. The children discuss their day, have a snack and then enjoy outdoor physical activities. When children return to the classroom, they choose an activity center for the remainder of the afternoon (with assistance from the teacher). A ticket necklace system is used to ensure all activity centers are used and to prevent overcrowding at one center.
