Enrichment
Our Enrichment program is available for children ages five and older from the end of classes until 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Placement must be reserved through either a yearly contract or on a drop-in basis as space allows. Please contact the office for fees and availability. Arbor's after-school program, for children ages five and older, provides a continuation of the Montessori philosophy of mutual respect, independence and cooperation that the children are accustomed to in the classroom. The program is planned by the Director of Auxiliary Programs and supervised by a teacher with up to two assistants.
In our program children develop social skills such as the ability to work and interact with others, the ability to solve problems and to seek help when needed. We accomplish these goals by providing both planned activities and unstructured times for children to play, read, write, or just be together. Children are free to choose the activities that interest them. A nutritious snack is provided each day.
Enrichment is designed to be a warm, homelike environment. Children are placed in two age groups for indoor time. The indoor environment includes a quiet area for reading, creative writing, or just resting; an arts and crafts area; a cooking area; and an area for indoor games. The outdoor environment offers a deck for large craft projects and informal gatherings; a patio for activities such as hopscotch, four square, and jump rope; a wooded area where children may walk, play on the equipment or rest on the decks along the paths; a half-basketball court; and a full playing field for soccer, kickball and other group games. The Enrichment Program is available from the end of classes until 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Placement must be reserved through either a yearly contract or on a drop-in basis as space allows.
