About the programs Horizon offers at Rolling Terrace Elementary
Before and After School Care for the School-Age Child
School-age child care supplements a family setting between school hours and home hours. A school-age child has complex needs ranging from affirmation to discipline, from stimulating activity to quiet time; the need for independence and opportunity to make his or her own choices become increasingly important to the school age child. Peer pressure and the stigma of “still” going to day care is a negative factor for many older school-age children while at the same time the school age child feels a strong need to belong to a community.
To respond to these needs, our program provides opportunities for individual and large group activities, such as: a reading loft so that children can have a quiet place to go; time for children to work on their homework accompanied by an educator who offers assistance as needed; daily outdoor play with group and individual activities. Most days cooking and or arts and crafts activities are also offered. During the week children can choose a club activities to participate in such as: rocket building, chess, candle making and other seasonal activities.
