Learn and grow with Champions before and after care
I’d like to remind you about our before and after school partnership with Champions. The Champions program provides children a place to participate in fun, educational activities right here onsite, including:
• • Daily options for learning adventures according to children’s interests
• • Physical activities and games that get children moving
• • Exercises that support development of science, technology, engineering, arts and math skills
• • Opportunities to make new friends
• • Healthy snacks provided
• • Homework help available at parents’ request
We’re proud of this partnership, and I encourage you to consider it if you’re in need of before or after school care. A perfect time to check out the Champions program is during the Champions Open House on Tuesday, September 18th from 6:00pm to 8:00pm in the cafeteria.
