SCHOOL-AGE CHILD CARE PROGRAM

Star Kids Preschool School-Age Program provides an educational program designed to facilitate the development of the whole child. Professionally trained staff plan and arrange stimulating learning environments through enrichment clubs, which are appropriate for the different developmental stages of a child’s life. Our school-age program is designed for children ages 5-12 years. The teachers work together to meet the needs of the children, arrange the environment, and plan and implement activities.

Our curriculum at Star Kids Preschool School-Age Program is based on current research that supports developmentally appropriate practices. We support the interest of each child, helping them to grow in their socio-emotional and cognitive skill development through hands-on experimentation with materials and concepts. We believe that your child will discover and learn by making the decisions needed to work through an activity. Teachers will build lesson plans around weekly curriculum themes.
