After School Program

Licensed by the State of Michigan

PHILOSOPHY

In response to the growing need for after school childcare, Kazoo School offers a licensed on site childcare program that provides quality care with creative, stimulating activities. The after school program (ASP) is designed to enhance self-esteem, encourage individual talents, seek out personal interests, and provide opportunities for recreation and creative expression.

GOALS

  • To provide quality care for children after the school day ends.
  • To provide childcare at a reasonable cost in a convenient location.
  • To promote school as a safe, secure and stimulating place.
  • To enhance children’s physical, intellectual, social, emotional and creative development.
  • To recognize and encourage individual interest and talents.

PROGRAM ENVIRONMENT

ASP is housed in the modular building classrooms, and uses the Kazoo School Library, playground, and the adjacent 50-acre Kleinstuck Preserve. The ASP classrooms offer arts and crafts, dramatic play, board games, construction resources, a reading area, and a designated homework room. The Kazoo School playground includes a large game playing field, playground equipment, sandbox, and basketball court. Kleinstuck Preserve offers nature trails for hiking and nature activities.

PROGRAM SPECIFICATIONS

ASP is open from 2:55-6:00 PM, Monday-Friday, on all full days of school. (ASP is generally available with special pre-registration on half days of school during parent-teacher conferences.) The students go directly to the ASP facility at dismissal. A nutritious snack and drink are provided upon arrival.

Children must be pre-registered to participate in ASP. Registration forms are available at the beginning of each semester, parents specify both the day of the week and pick-up time for their student(s).
