Winter 2016/17
Welcome back to the After School Program Blog! For Winter 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 or
5:00. 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. 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.

Double ‘OO’
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.

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.
For more information visit: www.artistsplay.com or
call 416-309-7529
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.
