Here
at Kidz on the Go we have a broad range of activities
for your child to enjoy. In the morning the children
are treated to warm toast and cereal, juice and milk
and are greeted with smiles all around. When the children
arrive in the afternoon they are given a hot meal specially
prepared by Chris, who is the mother of the house and
has a knack for working out just what the kids like
eating.
The
kitchen is open from 2:30pm to 4:30pm. We get the children
to mingle with children from other schools as they sit
down and eat, and it is lovely to see them making new
friends and talking about their day at school. Once
everyone has finished eating, all of the children are
encouraged to show manners, and to say thank you and
to ask politely should they require anything. It is
a simple rule that works, and it places an importance
on being nice to one another.
After
the children have finished eating they have free time
to play amongst each other until 4:30pm. At this time
the children will be supervised in their age groups
to do homework until 5pm. If they do not have any homework
or if their parents prefer them to do it at home, then
they are encouraged to sit down and read quietly for
15 minutes, practice their times tables or are asked
to be creative and draw a masterpiece that they can
present to you when they get home.
There
is also an extensive range of activities that our resident
teacher Miss Carol has organized for the children to
do from 5pm to 5:45pm. Children are encouraged to do
activities in groups in a fun way. The activities that
are chosen depend on the childs interest, so we ask
the children what they would like to do for activities
and then take it from there. Children like to be creative
and it is very rewarding to see the smiles pop up on
their faces during craft.
Our
centre is run on very simple family values. Always respect
those around you and show good manners to the people
that you meet in your daily life. For this reason, no
bad language or misbehavior is tolerated at any time.
Our use of praise and positive reinforcement works very
well and the children respond to this.
Kidz on the Go is a place where we learn something new
everyday.
