"School and family working for the total child."

The Eagle's Nest Club is a school age childcare program offering activities for kindergarten throught fifth grade students attending Lewis Ames Elementary.  We focus on child-centered care which complements the school day experience of Ames students.  Activities promote the developement of the whole child and vary with the number, ages, and interests of participating children.  Children learn to function cooperatively and positively with one another.

What does a typical day in Eagle’s Nest look like?

In the morning, as you walk into the building, you see other children playing games, coloring, writing, and reading. Soon after arriving, all of the children gather into our cozy corner for a read-aloud.  After the story, children are engaged in an activity.

After the children are dismissed from their classes, they arrive in the lunchroom and are greeted by the warm smiles of the staff, and a delicious, well-balanced snack is waiting for them. After snack, the children head outside for recess. Next, the children are provided with assisted homework time, and if they do not have homework, they can take part in a read-aloud, or in independent literacy exploration. An activity/project ends their day such as making a painting or drawing, creating a collage, building using various materials, collabrative games in the gym, or time in the computer lab.

To ensure quality adult guidance for the participating children, a ratio of one adult for every fifteen children is maintained at all times.
