Homework

An integral part of the Kid Zone Program is to provide students with the opportunity to work on homework assignments or other academic activities. The Kid Zone Program supports each child as he or she accepts the responsibility of completing homework assignments. Our staff provides guidance and encouragement to the children during he homework/study time while serving as resources for learning.

At Waggoner Kid Zone, we will continue to be providing a homework club. Our staff will continue to collaborate with Waggoner teachers to discuss how we can better serve our children. We ask that you and your child discuss whether s/he should work on homework during our program. We feel that we can provide the best homework assistance when staff, children and families have a clear understanding of the expectations of our homework club.  Although we offer the homework center during our general center time in the multipurpose room, Waggoner school is also allowing us to use the reading area for homework club.

Clinics

Clinics are educational activities focusing on an individual theme or subject that lasts for 45 minutes. The clinics are planned and taught by our enthusiastic and well trained staff.  These clinics are free and only open to children registered at Kid Zone.

Clinics provide an opportunity for your children to explore and develop their own unique interests. Parents are strongly encouraged to sit in and watch Kid Zone's talented staff facilitate one of the many enrichment clinics we offer!

Enrichment Clubs

Club time at Kid Zone is a time when the children are separated into smaller groups, usually based on age, to participate with their peers in age-appropriate activities. As there is an enormous developmental difference between a kindergartener and a fifth grader, staff plan activities that are geared towards each developmental level. Behavior problems are often reduced and children feel more comfortable in the smaller groups with their peers.

At Waggoner Kid Zone, clubs are divided into K/1, 2/3 and 4/5. Each club has its' own unique set of daily plans as well as special activities and events. Please see a staff member for more information.

Centers

As an enrichment program, Kid Zone believes that play is an incredibly important medium of learning. Our staff develop themed lesson plans that focus on play experiences that enable children to develop and accumulate their own knowledge. The following are a few examples of what children are learning at our centers on a daily basis.

• Creative Play: Developing mobility of thought and practicing cooperation

• Reading and Listening: Developing language skills and story comprehension

• Drawing and Painting: Developing hand-eye coordination and good self-concept

• Patterns and Magnet Boards: Developing classification skills

• Math: Following mental plans and problem solving

• Science: Making generalizations about the properties of various objects

• Developing gross motor skills and learning how to take turns

• Board games: Learning how to follow rules, problem solving and working with others.
