The primary goal in our school age program is to create communities for children and their families that are fun, nurturing and enriching. Children are active learners.

Wonders at Chevy Chase provides an environment where children can safely grow through self-guided and structured play. In addition to fostering imagination, play challenges children to expand social, emotional and intellectual tools. School age teachers carefully plan the program to balance homework with exercise and promote healthy eating habits.

Wonders at Chevy Chase Curriculum

The before school program is designed as a gentle transition time from home to school. Children have the opportunity to read, finish homework, play board games or create artwork. Outside time and active games are also offered.

Wonders’ after school program curriculum is built around the concepts of friendship and being a good sport. Activities are designed to create opportunities for all children to explore and experience in ways that are meaningful to them.

Activities incorporate seven learning areas: language and literacy, mathematical thinking, scientific thinking, social studies, personal and social development, physical development and the arts. The afternoon is a blend of child initiated and teacher initiated activities including outdoor play, afternoon snack, group time, choice times, homework and reading time.

On days when schools have scheduled early dismissal or are closed, we provide a half or full day program. These longer days give us the opportunity to enhance our programming by planning special events, inviting specialists in to share their expertise or exploring the larger community on field trips.

Wonders believes in programming that offers an array of opportunities and resources to children and families. In addition to our engaging curriculum, a variety of valuable services are included in our monthly tuition, including:

field trips
full and half day programming if your child's regular schedule falls on a day when schools are closed
intramural sports
clubs
supervised homework time
family fun events
parent workshops
consultation and support from Child Development Consultants, Inc.
daily healthy snacks

This inclusive philosophy ensures that enrolled children can fully participate in all activities that are offered.
