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 Extended Day at Milton Gottesman Jewish Day School 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 Extended Day at Milton Gottesman Jewish Day School Curriculum
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.
