*HOMEWORK POLICY: It is the child's responsibility to complete their assignments. Please be sure to speak with your child if you wish that they complete their homework while at Ext Care-- we will not argue with children to complete their assignments.
Please note that we are available for the occasional question but students that choose to do their homework should be capable of doing the majority of the work on their own as we are not a replacement for a tutoring service and are not available for one-on-one homework help. Kindergarten and 1st grade teachers strongly prefer/require that parents do the homework with their child each day.
If your child normally works with a tutor, it will be most beneficial to your child if they do not do homework while at Extended Care since we cannot provide the extra attention which is vital to the child's academic (and emotional) growth.
Parents should still review their homework with their children as they would normally.
We strongly believe in academic support in after-school but at this time we are not available to provide anything further. We appreciate your understanding.
*MOVIE POLICY: Although we try not to show movies that are rated PG, please be sure to sign a Movie Permission Form at the beginning of the year. Courtesy Emails are also emailed out prior to each minimum day to give as much advance notice on the title of the movie as possible. If you prefer that your child not watch the movie we have selected, please notify the Director and there will be an alternate activity provided for your child.
Examples of PG movies we have shown: The Incredibles, UP, Megamind, Despicable Me, Lilo&Stitch, Kung Fu Panda
Examples of G movies we have shown: Toy Story 1-3, Cars, Finding Nemo, Singin’ in the Rain, Charlotte’s Web, Babe
