Welcome
back to the After School Program Blog!
For Fall
2016 we are offering a condensed list of programs. As per
parents' requests, we are running programs for 8-10 weeks.
Programs with insufficient enrollment will be cancelled 3-5 days before
the first class - so please register early. We have changed the cancellation
notice, because of the number of late registrants.
There will be announcements the first week of programs to let students
know where each program is located. The kids should go straight there
after the bell rings at 3:30 and programs will start at 3:45. Please let
your child's teacher know ahead of time if they are attending
programs so the teacher knows how to dismiss them safely.
KINDERGARTEN:
Because kindergarten classes are dismissed at 3:15, we offer JK/SK
specific programming starting at 3:15.
ABSENCE:
If your child is missing a session, please contact the program providers
directly to let them know that your child will be absent, even if you have
already notified the school office.
DISMISSAL:
All programs end at 4:30 or 4:45. The students will be
escorted to the front doors and the instructors will wait there until
all students have been picked up. Please let the program providers
know who will be picking up your child.
Each program may have a different end time, so please check
carefully. If you are late for pick-up. Providers
reserve the right to charge parents who are late for pickup.
REGISTRATION:
As always, you sign up directly with the program providers using the
links available through the program calendar. Click on the program name within
the calendar for a full description of the program. Then click on the link
within the description to access the registration sites or contact the program
directly. Once you've registered you'll be communicating directly with the
program providers about any schedule changes, etc.
PROGRAM
CANCELLATION:
Programs will run if enough students sign up. Sometimes individual
programs don't get enough interest and we have to cancel. That's why we're
constantly striving to find fun and exciting programs and to cater to a variety
of interests.
We are always looking for volunteers to help with after school
programming and to help find new and interesting programs.

Other Off-site Programs
Double ‘OO’ (NEW***)
International Super Spy School for kids (http://double00.ca) . Kids love the idea of
being a spy. Our 'training facility' is located at 245 Carlaw Ave., Unit
004 and is suited to 5-12 year olds. We take the kids through
basic skills training that "spies" need to know. They are
briefed on the mission and what skills they must learn that day. The
3 components each day are:
1) Drama / disguise - they learn to get into character and act.
This is to help them gain confidence.
2) Gadgetry - they learn safety and ways to make cool things, plus how
to use real gadgets. This is to help them think outside the box and be
creative.
3) Ninja Training - they learn to be active and stealthy. There
are laser obstacle courses and smoke effects used. A lot of tumbling and
some self defense in the dojo. This also helps them with their self
confidence.
There are healthy snacks and drinks given. There is a class
everyday for 5-12 year olds. We provide a daily walk over program. Please
contact provider directly for more details at 64SPYING01 (telephone
647-794-6401).
Premier Gymnastics
The kids would have to be brought to
and from the gym by their parents or care givers.
Our gymnastics program offers a variety
of classes suited for children ages from 3 to 12. Younger kids are introduced
to basic gymnastics skills and older children are able to learn more
advanced skills, improve their strength and flexibility while having fun.
Classes run from 4 to 8 p.m. and are 1
hour and 1 1/2 hours long.
Artists' Play Studio
The exciting and fun Dance Club runs on
Wednesdays and Thursdays at our Studio. We also offer Walking programs that
lead into our dance classes everyday of the week.
Jumping Clay
Jumping Clay is a safe and non-toxic air-drying
clay. It is water soluble and mess-free. We use the clay as an
educational tool to promote culture and learning with programs that facilitate
a "Learn Through Play" mindset which appeals to children of all ages.
By making simple geometry shapes and putting them together, you can create
beautiful 2-D and 3-D artworks.
Every week, the children will be guided and taught
step by step lessons on making different projects which they will take home at
the end of every class. The children will also learn team building and at
some point make a big diorama.
There will be one class on Tuesday for 4-8
year olds and Wednesday for 9 and up, we provide a walk over program.

The Japan Martial Arts Centre is a karate learning
and training studio, and is the Headquarters of the IKA Canada. Children as
young as 3 can participate. If you are a parent and considering karate, please
read our parent's testimonials.
The Martial Arts is an excellent activity for self
defense and confidence. It is also provides physical and cardiovascular
benefits. Our program will teach you discipline, respect for others and
knowledge of the Martial Arts. You will learn the Five Dojo Kun.
