About the Provider

Advertisement
The Rec Kids Afterschool Program is committed to providing children with a safe environment where they are given an opportunity to express themselves and develop socially, physically, artistically, and creatively through a program that nurtures and respects the uniqueness of each and every child. Rec Kids Philosophy: At Rec Kids we believe that all children need a safe place where they can interact with their friends after school. We offer a variety of activities which includes recreation and games, arts and crafts, reading, enrichment, time to work on homework, and ¿free time¿ for the children to pursue their own interests in a respectful, friendly environment. We allow children many opportunities to learn experientially and focus on subjects that engage and interest them, therefore allowing for meaningful learning. We also encourage as much parental involvement as possible because we realize that the link between the school setting and home is vitally important in fostering a sense of community.
