About the programs Horizon offers at Burnt Mills 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 becomes 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 club activities to participate in, such as rocket building, chess, candle making, and other seasonal activities.
