Description: The Gifford After School Program (ASP) provides a safe environment and strives to enhance the self-image of children, parents and program employees. We believe that children are the most important element of any group experience, and the program must be built around the children. The program also believes that the areas of development-physical, emotional, social, and intellectual must be acknowledged and provided for. We believe that children will grow and flourish in a warm caring environment which recognizes the child's need for physical and emotional well-being and enhance his or her sense of security. Activities initiated by both staff and children will be varied, plentiful, and age appropriate and will offer experiences in literature, art and model projects, physical exercise, board games, media, and educational study. There will be a quiet area for homework support. We believe that staff and parents must work cooperatively to achieve mutual goals for the children. Further, we believe that with the children's needs met and their safety ensured, families will be better able to maximize their work potential. The ASP is a state licensed program with an overall capacity of 72 children. It is designed to serve children in grades K-6 or approximately 5-11 years old. The program opens at afternoon dismissal time (2:30 p.m.) every full day that school is in session and closes at 5:30 p.m. Curriculum includes: art or craft activities and regular daily routine.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues.
