Extended Day Program

"There's Something For Everyone"

Philosophy
The Extended Day Program is an after school alternative exclusively for the students of Black Pine Circle. The emphasis of the program is placed on enrichment and activity. The children are encouraged to be involved in group activity which helps to develop social skills such as conflict resolution, cooperation, and team spirit. Personal growth is also encouraged through this program which places importance on the development of self-esteem, leadership, and confidence. Most importantly, we place having fun in a supportive and non-competitive environment at the top of our priorities.



Staff
One of the greatest strengths of our program is our exceptional staff. The staff consists of a Director and three assistants who provide for a child/teacher ratio of no more than ten to one. Our On-Site staff will offer the care and attention each child needs. Our Specialists are highly trained and experienced instructors who have a love for working with youth. Both the On-Site staff and Specialists are committed to providing a safe and exciting atmosphere that offers each child knowledge, awareness, and the interaction with a positive adult role model.

Activities
The Extended Day Program is designed to encourage the pursuit of knowledge through a variety of extracurricular activities that not only support the skills learned in the classroom, but also invite each child to explore the other avenues of wisdom, socialization, creativity, and the freedom to have fun. Some of the activities are "Fitness in Transit", piano, violin, cello, arts and crafts, study hall, "Mad Science", chess, drama, tennis, various Martial Arts, and many more! The site includes both indoor and outdoor play facilities as well as a kitchen for cooking projects and preparation of snacks.

The Extended Day Program runs Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 to 6:00 p.m. on regular school days,
12:00 to 6:00 p.m. on minimum days.
