Our program is divided into two main chunks: "Snack & Play" and "Activity Time" (click here for our daily schedule). During Snack & Play, all students have the option of a healthy snack each afternoon, anything from a piece of fruit up to a full meal, as well as a bagged snack to take home (click here for the latest supper menu from the Burlington School Food Project). When students are not eating they have a free-play option (outside as much as weather permits).

 

The second part of the afternoon is centered around activities. At the beginning of the session students select from a range of classes designed to appeal to a variety of interests - active games, music, arts, cooking, technology, and more (click here for our session brochure, which includes descriptions of our current classes). Classes meet once a week for the entire session - for example, a student could sign up for Swimming on Mondays, Crafty Kids on Tuesdays, Nature Explorers on Wednesdays, and so on. There is also an option for academic support and homework from a certified teacher on certain days. 

 

Fridays tend to be a little different, with all students participating in free choice activities.

 

Kindergartners do not sign up for classes, but instead participate in a program designed specifically around the needs of younger students while still drawing ideas from the selections offered to older students.
