OUT OF SCHOOL CARE ROOM

Barbara Coloroso
Encouraging a child means that one or more of the following critical life messages are coming through, either by word or by action: I believe in you, I trust you, I know you can handle this, You are listened to, You are cared for, You are very important to me.

Our Out of School Care classroom is an extension of our Tot Spot Academy Program Daycare Curriculum. Friends that graduate from our Preschool Program are welcome to join us in the Out of School Care program. Out of School care is a great place to connect with friends in the morning for some free play and then head off to school. Kindergarten aged children are picked up at lunch and come back for a nutritious meal prepared by our chef. Following lunch the children participate in a short quiet time to help promote emotional regulation for the afternoon. Much like Preschool Program the Out of School Care children engage in periods of structured and unstructured activities until pickup time.

Our full day school children arrive back at Tot Spot Academy in time for a chef prepared afternoon snack and then engage in interest driven, open ended stations and activities until pickup.
