Our homework center is open each afternoon and is monitored by the site director.  Our goal is to offer assistance to children whether it is to help with memorizing math facts or guiding children to the correct resource to locate the needed information. A quiet place is provided for study and reading.  We teach and reinforce good study habits.

The children have online accessibility to the web. The computers are loaded with software to enrich and enhance their cognitive skills.  We encourage all the children to use the computers during their after school time with us. The children have online accessibility to the web with teacher monitoring when doing homework or researching a topic. There is no excuse for not finding the information they need for their reports.

The teachers & staff create weekly themes and the activities for arts & crafts that relate to these themes. This is a very popular center in the afternoon. We give the children ideas and let them expand and create.  Each child's project is unique and different depending on their ideas. We believe in fostering creativity and allowing the child to decide what the outcome of their project should be.

 


Music/drama is part of the curriculum at Aim-High. We believe that music and acting are enriching and are a very important part of the development of children. It allows them to express their creativity using music & drama. Several times during the year programs are held to give opportunity for children to perform in front of an audience. School Programs are a dying art and we believe we can provide enrichment and an "opportunity to perform" for the children attending Aim-High.

At our center time, children choose an activity with three to four other children that have the same interest. During this time the children are strengthening their negotiating skills, interpersonal, creative and social skills. When children are polled, Learning Center time is always voted The Best!

These centers allow our childreafsn to experiment and experience new ideas and theories. They might choose carpentry or brick making to fill their time.  Lots of learning happens when children are allowed to explore on their own. Children are naturally inquisitive and the science center is a great place for them to spend time touching, testing, and learning.  Our animals allow children to experience life and understand the care and nurturing required for others.
