Hucklebug – School Age Program

@ Norwood Public School

24 Flora Street

Norwood, Ontario   K0L 2V0

 

Program Description:

Hucklebug NDPS After School Program provides programs designed to enrich the learning experiences of children from 5 years/ 6 months of age or over, up to 12 years of age. 

 

Program Philosophy:

Hucklebug believes in providing a high quality child care program where the experiences for children will be positive.  By playing with other children, the social skills of sharing, cooperating and problem solving will be learned.  By taking part in a wide variety of age appropriate activities in a non-sexist environment, a child’s self-esteem will be raised and the development of gross and fine motor skills will be encouraged.  By providing challenges, a child’s curiosity will be rewarded.

 

In a calm and warm environment, the staff will recognize your child as an individual whose needs must be met on every level – emotional, physical and cognitive.  A child’s feelings will be respected and cultural and religious differences accepted and celebrated.

 

The cognitive program is planned with a balance of activities – structured program time and free play, quiet activities and active ones.  The playrooms are furnished with opportunities for both quiet and active play.

 

The integration of children with special needs into our program will benefit both the challenged child and other children enrolled.  The special needs child will take part in all the activities and learn new skills.  The other children will learn acceptance, awareness and helping skills.  All staff members work together as a team planning the programs and activities offered.
