Program Description

St. John Vianney Catholic School offers extended care both before and after school. The extended care curriculum encourages children to initiate their own learning experiences in a prepared “active learning” environment with the guidance of supportive teachers. The adults support and challenge children who are engaged in productive, problem-focused learning activities. The content of the curriculum is based upon a series of key experiences that the teachers incorporate into the classroom setting.

The key experience categories are:

• Personal Social Development
• Creative Representation
• Music and Movement
• Language and Literacy
• Classification
• Science
• Social Studies
• Numbers
• Space and Time

The children experience events, materials and ideas through developmentally appropriate direct hands-on experiences.
