Boys And Girls Club Of Saint John Funday After-School Program in Saint John daycare openings, reviews and ratings

Daycare description / philosophy

The Boys and Girls Club is a large facility which allows for a multitude of opportunities for young people to explore. The management of the facility has many years of experience and staff are trained in many areas. The atmosphere is welcoming, friendly and action-packed.
The After-school program provides a wide variety of activities, keeping in mind each child's experiences, development, strengths and interests. The weekly program will be provided in an open and flexible environment where playful exploration, problem solving and creativity are encouraged and planned. The program will be offered in an intellectually, socially and culturally engaging environment where communication, literacy and respect for diversity is valued and supported.

Children will be grouped by ages/grade level (ie. K-2, 3-5) with a child to staff ratio that allows for some individualized attention. Procedures are in place that allow for flexibility in groupings of children due to personality conflicts, developmental stages or special needs.

Programming opportunities will provide for personal choices and allow for personal creativity through active and quiet play, indoor and outdoor play, group and individual activities, structured and open ended activities and snack time. Areas of programming will include playground, gym activities, out-trips, science, drama, cooking, self-development activities, arts & crafts, board games, puzzles, music, homework assistance, computers, video games, movies and special events.
